NOTES
• See the HP 3PAR OS CLI Administrator’s Manual for additional information and examples
regarding task management and task management commands.
• The canceltask command can return before a cancellation is completed. Thust, resources
reserved for a task might not be immediately available. This can prevent actions like restarting
the canceled task. Use the waittask command to ensure orderly completion of the cancellation
before taking other actions. See “waittask” (page 664) for details.
• The —restart option associated with the tunevv command enables a tunevv task to be
resumed. See “tunevv” (page 655) for more information.
• A Service user is only allowed to cancel tasks started by that specific user.
