The WM (What MCP) command displays information about the current operating system.
Syntax

Explanation
WM
Displays information about the current operating system. This information includes the title of the MCP code file, the release level, whether the MCP is temporary or permanent, and a list of the compiler options (standard and user options) that were set when the code file was compiled. If the system is using the automatic pack controlware load feature, the display shows the controlware types that have been saved on the halt/load disk.
The WM command displays the following information.
Information Component |
Description |
---|---|
MCP |
Displays the MCP code file name and the MCP release level. The MCP release level includes the base release and any subsequent Supplemental Support Packages. For example, an MCP release level of 62 includes 62.0, 62.1, and so on. |
Release ID |
Displays the RELEASEID file attribute of the MCP code file. |
H/L unit |
Displays the unit number on which the current MCP code file resides. |
Backup unit |
If present, displays the backup halt/load disk unit numbers. If a unit number appears in parentheses, the unit has incurred an excessive number of I/O errors to the MCP code file, and the MCP on that unit is no longer used. |
Compiled |
Displays the date and time the current operating system was compiled and the NEWP compiler level. |
Compile time options are |
Displays the options that were set when the system was compiled. For more information on compile-time options, refer to the Simple Installation Operations Guide. |
Release type |
Displays the MCP Release type running on the system. Either Long Term Support or Incremental Release. |
Haltload reason |
Displays the reason for the most recent halt/load. |
Haltload time |
Displays the date and time at which the most recent halt/load occurred. |
Group ID |
Displays the name of the current group. For more information on GROUP ID, refer to the RECONFIGURE GROUP (Reconfigure System) command. |
Hostname |
Displays the hostname of the system. For more information, refer to the HOSTNAME (Hostname) system command. |
System serial number |
Displays the unique serial number of the system. |
System type |
Displays the basic system type and number of CPUs. |
Catalog level |
On a cataloging system, displays the current setting of the SYSOPS CATALOGLEVELSET parameter. The catalog level should be zero, unless you use the cataloging feature. Refer to the System Administration Guide for more information about the cataloging feature. |
Permanent MCP |
When the system is running on a temporary MCP, the current permanent MCP is displayed. |
Next MCP |
Displays the pending MCP name specified by CM <file name>, CM # <file name>, or CM <file name> :DELAY. |
The MCP bound language |
Displays the language or languages that were incorporated into the current code file for display of system messages. For information about the LANGUAGE system option, refer to the SYSOPS (System Options) system command. |
Controlware types saved |
Displays the disk controller types for which controlware can be loaded automatically, if necessary. Refer to the appropriate capabilities manual for your system for more information on automatic loading of controlware. |
