Modifying an IPXPROTO Process
You also can use the SCF ABORT PROCESS command to terminate the operation of an
IPXPROTO process quickly. All activities being performed by the aborted IPXPROTO
process are halted; however, files may be left in an inconsistent or incomplete state. Use
the SCF STOP PROCESS command if you want to stop the operation of the
IPXPROTO process in a more controlled manner. The SCF STOP PROCESS command
does not abruptly terminate activities in progress.
The following command stops an IPXPROTO process:
-> STOP PROCESS $ZNV2
You can use wildcard characters to stop multiple processes simultaneously.
Modifying an IPXPROTO Process
Before you can modify attributes of an IPXPROTO process, you must stop the process
by using the SCF STOP PROCESS command. Then use the SCF ALTER PROCESS
command to change the attribute values of an existing process. The ALTER PROCESS
command is accepted only when the IPXPROTO process is in the STOPPED summary
state.
The following command alters the maximum number of open IPX and SPX sockets, the
resend value, and the IOPORTNAME value for the process $ZNV2 on a token-ring
LAN:
-> ALTER PROCESS $ZNV2, IPXMAXSOCKETS 250, &
SPXMAXBINDS 150, SPXMAXRESEND 88, &
IOPORTNAME "L018.ipxsnap"
Removing an IPXPROTO Process
You can remove an IPXPROTO process from the system only by using the SCF
DELETE PROCESS command. DELETE PROCESS removes an IPXPROTO process
from the NonStop™ IPX/SPX subsystem. You can only delete processes that are in the
STOPPED summary state.
The following example deletes a process named $ZNV2:
-> DELETE PROCESS $ZNV2
Retrieving Configuration Information
SCF provides several commands that retrieve configuration information for the objects
associated with the NonStop™ IPX/SPX subsystem. The INFO, LISTOPENS, STATS,
STATUS, and VERSION commands all return useful configuration and/or operation
data, as in the following examples:
•
The INFO PROCESS command displays information on an IPXPROTO process’s
current configured values (described on page 3-20).
•
The LISTOPENS SUBSYS command displays information on subsystem
(IPXMGR) openers (described on page 3-27).
