TS/MP 2.5 System Management Manual

If you omit this option, the PATHMON process resumes its primary process in the processor recorded
in the PATHMON configuration file. If this processor is down, no error occurs.
Considerations
• After a series of SWITCH and CONTROL commands, the PATHMON primary process might
be running in a processor other than the one you initially defined. Use the STATUS PATHMON
command to display the CPUs where the primary and backup PATHMON processes are
running.
If the PATHMON primary process is not running in its configured processor, this command
causes the primary process to run in that processor.
• After successfully executing a PRIMARY command, the PATHMON process logs this status
message:
STATUS - *1077* TAKEOVER BY BACKUP
Examples
This command resumes the operation of the PATHMON primary process in the processor defined
in the PATHMON configuration file:
PRIMARY PATHMON
This command resumes the operation of the PATHMON primary process in processor 2 only if
processor 2 is the processor recorded in the PATHMON configuration file for the PATHMON
process.
PRIMARY PATHMON, IFPRICPU 2
SET PATHMON Command
Use the SET PATHMON command to establish the values for the PATHMON attributes. Use this
command before cold starting a Pathway environment.
SET PATHMON pathmon-attribute [ , pathmon-attribute ]...
pathmon-attribute is:
BACKUPCPU number
DUMP { ON [ ( FILE file-name ) ] | OFF }
BACKUPCPU number
specifies the processor in which the PATHMON backup process runs.
DUMP {ON | OFF}
specifies whether the PATHMON process writes its data stack information and the contents of the
PATHMON configuration file to a file if the PATHMON process encounters an internal error.
The default is OFF.
ON
directs the PATHMON process to write the information in its data stack and the contents of the
PATHMON configuration file to a file and then to set this option to OFF.
FILE file-name
specifies the name of the file that the PATHMON process creates for its dump operation.
If you do not specify file-name, the PATHMON process creates a dump file on the same subvolume
as the PATHMON configuration file. The format of the file name is ZZPMnnn, where nnn is a 3-digit
number. The file code is 130.
