SCF Object States
SCF Object States
SCF objects can be in different states of operation, depending on the SCF command
issued to that object. The operational states are:
Table 4-3 lists the operational states for the objects in the SLSA subsystem.
null Object Type
The null object type is not an actual object type. The term null represents the lack of a
specified object. Any SCF command that supports the null object type is issued without
the specification of an object type. Commands support the null object type if an object
type is irrelevant or if they refer to a collection of objects.
Generic Processes
The operating system or a user creates a generic process to perform a task. The LAN
Manager (LANMAN) process is a generic process created by the HP NonStop Kernel
persistence monitor and configured as a generic process. The default user ID for a
generic process is the same as the user ID for that SCF session.
STARTED
The object is running and is ready to accept requests from other
subsystem components. This state results from the START
command for most objects.
STARTING The object is on its way to the STARTED state because a command was
issued to start it.
STOPPING The object is on its way to the STOPPED state because a command
was issued to stop it.
STOPPED The object does not accept requests from other subsystem components.
This state results from the STOP or ABORT command.
DIAGNOSING A diagnostic process is testing the object.
