Table 3-4. SCF Object States (page 1 of 2)
State Substate Explanation
ABORTING The object is being aborted. The object is
responding to an ABORT command or some type
of malfunction. In this state, no new links are
allowed, and drastic measures might be underway
to reach the STOPPED state. This state is
irrevocable.
DEFINED One of the generally defined possible conditions of
an object with respect to the management of that
object.
DIAGNOSING The object is in a subsystem-defined test mode
entered through the DIAGNOSE command.
INITIALIZED The system has created the process, but it is not
yet in one of the operational states.
SERVICING SPECIAL The object is being serviced or used by a
privileged process and is inaccessible to user
processes.
TEST The object is reserved for exclusive testing.
STARTED The object is logically accessible to user
processes.
STARTING The object is being initialized and is in transition to
the STARTED state.
STOPPED CONFIG-ERROR The object is configured improperly.
DOWN The object is no longer logically accessible to user
processes.
HARDDOWN The object is in the hard-down state or is physically
inaccessible due to a hardware error.
INACCESSIBLE The object is inaccessible to user processes.
