Once you determine the appropriate strategy for your cluster, you can create your
queues. Figure 7–1 shows the printer configuration for a cluster consisting of the
active computers JUPITR, SATURN, and URANUS.
7.7.1 Creating a Queue
You set up OpenVMS Cluster print queues using the same method that you would
use for a standalone computer. However, in an OpenVMS Cluster system, you
must provide a unique name for each queue you create.
7.7.2 Command Format
You create and name a print queue by specifying the INITIALIZE/QUEUE
command at the DCL prompt in the following format:
INITIALIZE/QUEUE/ON=node-name::device[/START][/NAME_OF_MANAGER=name-of-manager]
queue-name
Qualifier Description
/ON Specifies the computer and printer to which the queue is
assigned. If you specify the /START qualifier, the queue
is started.
/NAME_OF_MANAGER If you are running multiple queue managers, you should
also specify the queue manager with the qualifier.
