• The last path to the system disk cannot be stopped.
• All paths to a volume that has open files without using the FORCED
attribute cannot be stopped. If attempted, the stop operation fails and
SCF displays an error message asking a confirmation on the request to
stop the volume although it has open files.
• If the FORCED attribute is used, all processes that use the disk to store
object code (programs) or swap files must first be stopped; otherwise a
%5113 halt could occur. For a description of this halt code, see the
Processor Halt Codes Manual.
• To determine the current status of the disk paths to be stopped, use the
SCF STATUS DISK command. For a description of all DISK object
states and substates, see Disk Object States and Substates in the SCF
Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem.
