Stopping the System
You use SCF to start many system components. Refer to the SCF Reference Manual
for G-Series RVUs as an overall reference. You can also refer to SCF manuals that
are specific to each peripheral device:
You might able to automate the startup of many processes, lines, devices, and
applications. For example, you can use the SCF interface to the Kernel subsystem to
add process names to the system configuration database—typically monitor or
manager processes such as $ZEXP, the Expand manager process; $ZNET, the
Subsystem Control Point (SCP) process; or $ZPMON, the OSS monitor process.
Refer to the SCF Reference Manual for the Kernel Subsystem.
You also can automate your startup procedures by including commands in startup
command files that you invoke from a TACL prompt or another startup file. Startup
files contain a series of commands that automatically execute when the file is
executed. The NonStop S-Series Planning and Configuration Guide describes startup
files. Refer also to the SCF Reference Manual for G-Series RVUs. For some
techniques to make startup command files run as efficiently as possible, refer to
Reducing Shutdown Time on page 16-24.
Follow your site’s procedures for executing the system configuration and startup
command files and for starting up your application software.
Stopping the System
Stopping a system means halting each processor (terminating all processes running in
each processor) on the system in an orderly fashion. To prepare a system for a
planned outage and to stop the system, perform these tasks:
1. Preparing to Stop the System on page 16-19
2. Procedure to Stop the System Using OSM or TSM on page 16-21
