Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and Management Manual (H06.16+, J06.05+)
Example 32 ALTER PROVIDER
> ALTER PROVIDER $ZZCIP.ZTC1, HOSTID 25.0.0.0
ALTER PROVIDER Guidelines
• The CLIM attribute and IPADDRESS attribute can be altered only when the specified provider
is of MAINTENANCE TYPE and is in the STOPPED state.
• The SHARE-PORTS attribute can be altered only when the specified provider is of IPDATA
TYPE, the provider is in the STOPPED STATE, and all associated CLIMs are in the STOPPED
state (or there is no associated CLIM). Associated CLIMs include all CLIMs with MULTIPROV
ON that have one or more interfaces associated with the specified provider.
• The FAMILY attribute can be altered only when the specified provider is of IPDATA TYPE and
is in STOPPED state.
• HOSTNAME, HOSTID, BRECVPORT, and TCP-LISTEN-QUE-MIN attributes can be altered even
when the specified provider is in the STARTING or STARTED state. However, the new attribute
values do not apply retroactively. For example, only new socket requests after the ALTER
PROVIDER command completion are affected by the new attribute values.
• TPNAME can only be altered when the specified Provider is in the STOPPED state.
• Specifying BREVPORT RESET resets the list of UDP ports that receive broadcast messages on
sockets bound to specific IP addresses or INADDR_ANY. The reset is to no ports specified. If
you specify BRECVPORT with a list of ports, CIP sets the list of UDP ports that receive broadcast
messages on sockets bound to specific IP addresses or INADDR_ANY to the new list of ports.
The old list (if it existed) is ignored and no longer stored.
DELETE Commands
DELETE is a sensitive command that removes the specified object from the subsystem.
DELETE CLIM
The DELETE CLIM command deletes the specified CLIM object from this system.
DELETE CLIM Command Syntax
DELETE CLIM $ZZCIP.clim-name
clim-name
Specifies the name of the CLIM to delete.
Example 33 deletes S1003741 from this system.
Example 33 DELETE CLIM
> DELETE CLIM $ZZCIP.S1003741
DELETE CLIM Command Guidelines
• The CLIM object must be in the STOPPED state, and no MAINTENANCE PROVIDER can exist
that specifies the CLIM in its configuration. If an existing MAINTENANCE PROVIDER refers
to the CLIM in its configuration, you must delete the MAINTENANCE PROVIDER before deleting
the CLIM.
• If there are any ROUTE objects subordinated to the associated IPDATA provider object that
point to the specified CLIM, you cannot delete the CLIM . You must delete those ROUTE objects
before deleting the CLIM.
• If there are any interfaces associated with the specified CLIM still running on a failover CLIM,
you cannot delete the CLIM. Use the STATUS CLIM command to obtain the list of CLIM interfaces
