Considerations
cpu-number
is the processor number that will now become the primary processor for the
specified line or path.
Considerations
•
If the specified processor is not either the backup or primary processor, an error is
returned.
•
If the specified processor is currently the primary processor, a warning is returned.
•
The PRIMARY PROCESS command is not supported directly for Expand-over-IP
or Expand-over-PTCPIP line-handler processes. However, if you want to switch an
Expand-over-TCPIP or an Expand-over-PTCPIP line to the backup CPU, you can
abort the line handler, use the PRIMARY PROCESS command, and then restart
the line in the backup CPU.
•
The PRIMARY PROCESS command is used after an ABORT PATH command to
switch to the backup $NCP and reinitialize the node. See Node Not Available on
page 21-35.
•
You can switch processors for objects with a single PRIMARY PROCESS
command by specifying multiple objects using parentheses as follows:
PROCESS ( object-name , object-name [ , object-name ] ... )
Examples
The following SCF command causes the backup processor (CPU 6) to become the
primary processor and the primary to become the backup for $LINEX:
-> PRIMARY PROCESS $LINEX, 6
The following SCF command causes the backup processor (CPU 1) to become the
primary processor and the primary to become the backup for $NCP:
-> PRIMARY PROCESS $NCP, 1
The following SCF command causes the backup processor (CPU 0) to become the
primary processor and the primary to become the backup for $LHCOM and $LHBAL:
-> PRIMARY PROCESS ($LHCOM, $LHBAL), 0
