Configuring and Starting the ACS Subsystem
Starting SCF
This step starts the SCF management interface, which is typically located in the file
$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.SCF.
Procedure:
Use the TACL RUN command interactively or in an OBEY file, as follows:
1. SCF
After SCF is started, you can use the SETPROMPT command to change the prompt.
Configuring the Domain Coordinator Process ($ZACS)
This step adds the ACS domain coordinator process ($ZACS) to the configuration database (CONFIG)
on the physical system that contains the ACS components and configures it.
Procedure:
Use the SCF ADD PROCESS command interactively or in an OBEY file. For example:
ASSUME PROCESS $ZZKRN
ADD PROCESS #ZACS, &
NAME $ZACS, &
PROGRAM $SYSTEM.SYSnn.BC, &
DEFAULTVOL $SYSTEM.SYSnn, &
PRIMARYCPU primary-cpu, &
STARTUPMSG "num", &
STARTMODE startmode, &
STOPMODE STANDARD, &
HOMETERM home-term
where:
specifies the physical filename of the ACS domain coordinator process. This
file is located in the ACS installation subvolume (ISV) of the ACS components.
PROGRAM $SYSTEM.SYSnn.BC
This attribute is mandatory.
specifies the physical location where the ACS software and the ACS subsystem
configuration file (BCINI) is installed.
DEFAULTVOL $SYSTEM.SYSnn
This attribute is mandatory.
specifies the processor on which the primary domain coordinator process must
be started.
PRIMARYCPU primary-cpu
This attribute is mandatory.
indirectly specifies a processor for the backup domain coordinator process,
enclosed in double quotes ("). This attribute sends a message to the domain
STARTUPMSG "num"
coordinator process specifying the backup processor for the process pair.
Valid values are:
• num: The number of the CPU for the backup process.
• -1: Directs the domain coordinator process to select the backup CPU.
This attribute is mandatory.
specifies when the $ZACS manager process is started. Valid values are:
MANUAL, KERNEL, SYSTEM, APPLICATION, and DISABLED. If no value is
STARTMODE startmode
specified, the default value is DISABLED, which indicates that $ZACS process
is not started. For a description of all values, see the SCF Reference Manual
for the Kernel Subsystem.
This attribute is mandatory.
specifies that the operating system must use the PROCESS_STOP_ procedure
to stop the manager process ($ZACS). The values SPI and SYSMSG are not
STOPMODE STANDARD
