Stopping and Starting Lines and Paths
The SCF interface to the Expand subsystem provides commands to control lines and
paths. Table 19-11 describes each of these commands and the actions they perform.
Switching Primary and Backup Processes
The SCF interface to the Expand subsystem provides commands to change the
primary and backup processes, Table 19-12 describes these commands.
Table 19-11. Expand SCF Control Commands
SCF Command Action Performed
ABORT LINE $device_name Terminates the operation of a line as quickly as possible.
Only enough processing is done to ensure the security of
the subsystem. The selected line is placed in the
STOPPED state.
ABORT PATH $device_name Terminates the operation of a path as quickly as possible.
Activity on all lines associated with the path is
terminated. Only enough processing is done to ensure
the security of the subsystem. The selected path and all
associated lines are placed in the STOPPED state.
START LINE $device_name Initiates the operation of a line. Successful completion
places the line in the STARTED state. The command
affects the specified line and its associated path logical
device; it does not start all lines in a multi-line path.
START PATH $device_name Initiates the operation of a path. Successful completion
places the path, and all lines associated with the path, in
the STARTED state.
STOP LINE $device_name Terminates the activity of a line. The command deletes
all connections to and from the line in a nondisruptive
manner. The selected line is placed in the STOPPED
state. The command cannot be used if the line is in the
STARTED state.
STOP PATH $device_name Terminates the activity of a path and all lines associated
with the path. The command deletes all connections to
and from the path and all associated lines in a
nondisruptive manner. The selected path and associated
lines are placed in the STOPPED state. The command
cannot be used if the path is in the STARTED state.
