DEFER
specifies whether the change takes effect immediately.
YES
specifies that the change does not take effect immediately. For a process
running as a process pair:
If the specified CPU is different from the CPUs in which the primary
and backup processes are running, the backup process is created in
the specified CPU only when the primary process stops and the
existing backup process takes over.
If the specified CPU is the same as the CPU in which the primary
process is running, no backup process is created when the existing
backup process is stopped.
If the specified CPU is the same as the CPU in which the backup
process is running, the command is ignored.
For a process capable of running as a process pair:
If the specified CPU is different from the CPU in which the process is
running, a backup process is immediately started in the specified
CPU.
Note A backup process is not started for a BK, EM, or NC process. For these processes, the command
updates the location of the CPU in which the primary process creates the backup process when a
persistent NCL process is started in the BK, EM, or NC process.
If the specified CPU is the same as the CPU in which the process is
running, the command is ignored.
NO
specifies that the change takes effect immediately. If the specified backup
CPU is down, the creation of the backup process is deferred until the CPU
is up. For a process running as a process pair:
If the specified CPU is different from the CPUs in which the primary
and backup processes are running, the backup process is immediately
stopped and a new backup process immediately started in the
specified CPU.
If the specified CPU is the same as the CPU in which the primary
process is running, the backup process is immediately stopped;
thereafter, the process runs without a backup process.
If the specified CPU is the same as the CPU in which the backup
process is running, the command is ignored.
