I can understand that the Volume concept is handled by the idea of a
path in Linux, right? Hmm... Are the globals just Linux files? If so,
wouldn't the directory take the place of the UCI? But I guess the next
question is how is this exposed inside GT.M?

GT.M does not have the concept of UCI and Volume, so I think for the
GT.M port they're always VAH ROU. (Or am I getting things mixed up?)
Also, when VistA is ported to GT.M, I believe the routines look for the
hostname from the Linux command "hostname -s".
Perhaps Chris Richardson, Rick Marshall, Wally Fort or Dave Whitten
could comment?

I bet you are using the version on the VA ftp site. That is available
preinstalled on Knoppix on Sourceforge thanks to Bhaskar in the VivAFOIAGold
on the WorldVistA project site. It can be installed right on your machine if
you want or run off of the DVD.
Anyway, I would suggest you don't spend a lot of time looking at man hostname
and the like unless you REALLy want to spend a lot of time because you end up
going in a circle from hostname to something else to something else that ends
up referring back to hostname again. I got dizzy when I tried it.
The best I was able to do with Fedora was to figure it out with experiments
and to find out the machine name probably has to be changed in multiple
places to really change the machine name for Fedora
including /etc/hosts, /etc/config/network and
sysctl -w kernel.hostname="newhostname" .
After that, I decided that was really much more than I needed to know or cared
to know about machine names and Fedora, as long as I could figure out where
to get at hostname -s changed.
As for the ^ZOSF("PROD") and where that is set, it looks like im my ^ZTMGRSET,
it just gets the UCI and Volume it from ^ZOSF("PROD"), so that didn't help
figure out how that is set.

Nancy: I'm not too sure what information will help, but here is a
paragraph from Krn8_Osm.pdf

BOX-VOLUME PAIR
This field identifies a volume set and the CPU on which it is available. It
contains the name of a volume set concatenated to the CPU ("box") name:
first the volume set name and then the CPU name. For example, if the
volume set name is "KRN" and the name of the CPU (e.g., box) is "ISC6A1",
then the box-volume pair would be "KRN:ISC6A1".
For systems on which each CPU tends to have a unique volume set, and vice
versa, you may enter just the volume set name (e.g., "PSA" or "AAA"). This
field's value for the current process can be found by doing GETENV^%ZOSV
and checking the fourth ^-piece of Y. Since the volume set and CPU are
identified, the TaskMan site parameters can be tuned for each specific
volume set and CPU affected. Systems running Managers on more than one
CPU need one entry for each CPU where a manager is running.

So for Kernel to work, VOL:BOX has to be set up right. But why do they
call it Box-Volume, why not call it Volume-Box? The name of it caused me
some confusion when I was setting up taskman. And yes, the ^%ZOSF("PROD")
and ^%ZOSF("MGR") and ^%ZOSF("VOL") have to be all set right, and that is
done when you do ^ZTMGRSET. Maybe ^ZTMGRSET should get "BOX" name, and at
least begin setup of KERNEL SITE PARAMETERS. Maybe it does.
The version of Kernel I am running, has the code I showed below, that is,
the call to GETENV^%ZOSV calling RETURN^%ZOSV which evoked the GTM function
ZSYSTEM("hostname -s")
>From the GTM documentation, it looks like the ZSYSTEM call is a way to
generate a "plainjane" Linux command. And I would suppose that one could
say, to Linux
#hostname -s
and you would get a parameter out of the etc/hosts file, hopefully the
"box" name, or the short name of your computer.
I think that Linux uses different names for different things, Redhat9, I
think, provides for a longname and a shortname, and whoever wrote the
^%ZOSF that I have, knew to look for the short name (thus "-s"). One could
do $man hostname and see what it says there, I will do that when I get a
chance. But there should be some documentation somewhere that tells the
nave user to name his computer with a short and sweet alias, and to check
KERNEL SITE PARAMS to make sure taskman will run.
It looks like the Linux configuration provides for three fields in the
hosts file. The first is IP address, the second is the name of your
computer (a shortname), and the longname might be the URL of your system.
If this is really the case, then Kernel could use that shortname as a "box"
name, to identify your "box" on a network.
Maybe there is a difference between Redhat9 and
