START SAC Command
NONE
specifies that none of the subordinate objects are targets of the command.
This is the default selected if the SUB keyword of the SUB keyword is not
used.
Considerations

The parent SAC object must be in the STARTED or STARTING state for the
START PIF command to be accepted. The PIF object goes into the STARTED
state only when the parent SAC object is in the STARTED state.

The command returns no error if the PIF object goes to the STARTING state. To
see errors that prevent the PIF object from going to the STARTED state, use EMS.

The PIF cannot go to the STARTED state until the ServerNet adapter is
successfully downloaded with the DLFILENAME (see INFO SAC Command on
page 4-60). START SAC causes the download of the SAC. A STATUS SAC of
STARTED means the SAC has been successfully downloaded.

The PIF on a TRSA cannot go to the STARTED state until successful ring insertion
occurs. When not connected into a token-ring LAN, the PIF remains in a
STARTING state and SLSA event number 4101 is issued.

TRSA PIF STARTED state signifies a successful download to the adapter and ring
insertion.

After starting the PIF, issue the INFO SAC, DETAIL command to check the
configuration of the SAC. If there is a DUMP file (see DumpFilename on
page 4-62) in the SYSnn, check its creation date. Provide the dump file to your
support representative if the cause of the failure is unknown. Also, provide any
related EMS messages for the SLSA subsystem and VPROC of the DLFILENAME.
Example
The following is an example of the START PIF command:
START PIF G11123.0.A
START SAC Command
The START SAC command initiates the specified SAC and places it in the STARTED
state.
