PRIMARY PROCESS Command
system listed in the leftmost column. (Refer to Routing and Time Factors on
page 18-22 for more information on the TF.) An asterisk (*) indicates the Expand
line-handler process selected for traffic to each known node in the network; this is
also the line-handler process used for the $NCP connection protocol with each
node.
For multi-CPU paths, the asterisk has a different meaning for non-neighbor nodes
than for neighbor nodes. For non-neighbor nodes, the asterisk indicates the
Expand line-handler process selected for the pair between the local node and each
remote node; all traffic to the remote node uses the indicated line-handler process.
For neighbor nodes, traffic can also be directed to any of the other Expand line-
handler processes in the multi-CPU path; an asterisk in this case indicates the line-
handler process used for the $NCP connection protocol and an ampersand (&) is
shown beside the other members of the multi-CPU path.
Lset:LHname
Lset (lineset) displays the status of a selected path and the status of the started
lines that make up that path. LHname is the name of the line handler involved.
Ldev
indicates the logical device (LDEV) number associated with each line logical
device. After the LDEV number, an asterisk (*), or plus (+), or ampersand (&)
symbol indicates the following:
* indicates that the line is connected
+ indicates that the line is in the process of connecting
& indicates that the LDEV is a multi-CPU path
PRIMARY PROCESS Command
The PRIMARY PROCESS command causes the backup process to become the
primary process and the primary to become the backup. PRIMARY PROCESS is a
sensitive command.
The PRIMARY PROCESS command has the following syntax:
line-name | path-name
is the name of the line or path to be switched to the backup processor.
$NCP
causes the backup processor to become the primary processor and the primary to
become the backup for $NCP.
PRIMARY PROCESS { line-name | path-name | $NCP } , cpu-number
