208

swapfile

identifies the kernel-managed swap file.

cpu

is the processor associated with the swap file.

Cause. The NSKCOM STOP command was issued against the specified swap file.

Effect. The swap file does not accept any new processes, and its existing processes

are not affected. The swap file remains in use until all processes using the file have

terminated. The ZSYSCFG file is modified to mark the swap file with a STOP mark.

If this is the only swap file available for the processor, stopping use of the file prevents

any new processes from starting in that processor until usage of a swap file is enabled.

Any attempts to start new processes generate process creation errors, such as

PROCESS_CREATE_ error 55, “THE SPECIFIED SPACE GUARANTEE CANNOT

BE ALLOCATED.”

Recovery. If other swap files are available for the processor, this is an informational

message only; no corrective action is needed.

If no other swap files are available for the processor, add and enable use of a swap file

for the processor in order to allow process creation. Because you cannot start a new

process on the processor, run NSKCOM on another processor. Use the NSKCOM

ADD and START commands to add and enable use of a swap file for the processor.

You can also use the START command to put the stop-pending file back into use.

209

swapfile

identifies the kernel-managed swap file.

cpu

is the processor associated with the swap file.

Cause. The NSKCOM DELETE command was issued against the specified swap file.

Effect. The swap file is marked for deletion in the configuration file ZSYSCFG. Once

all processes using the swap file have terminated, the swap file is deleted.

Recovery. Informational message only; no corrective action is needed.
