SWITCH PROC Command
SWITCH PROC Command
The SWITCH PROC command causes the backup CIU path to become the primary
CIU path and the primary CIU path to become the backup CIU path. SWITCH PROC is
a sensitive command.
Command Syntax for the SWITCH PROC Command
The SWITCH PROC command has the following syntax:
OUT file-spec
causes any SCF output generated for this command to be directed to the specified
file.
PROC proc-name
designates the process to be switched. If you omit proc-name, SCF switches the
assumed process (see the SCF Reference Manual for G-Series RVUs or SCF
Reference Manual for H-Series RVUs for details about the ASSUME command).
Considerations for the SWITCH PROC Command
•
In the SWAN/SWAN 2 environment, this command has the effect of switching the
CPU from primary to backup or backup to primary.
•
This command supports PATH switching and CPU switching; path-spec is A or B,
or a or b.
•
The path specifier is ignored in the SWAN/SWAN 2 environment.
•
Upon execution of the SWITCH command, the final summary state remains
unchanged.
Example of the SWITCH PROC Command
The following SCF command causes the process to be switched to the brother CPU:
->SWITCH PROC $ATPS1, PATH A
SWITCH [ / OUT file-spec / ] [ PROC proc-name ]
Note. If you execute this command specifying the existing path name, the CPU will be
switched.
