ADD SERVER Command
CPU primary_processor
specifies the processor number of the processor where the primary server process
will run. primary_processor is an integer in the range 0 through 15.
You can specify the following options in any order:
AUTORESTART ntimes
specifies the persistence count of the server, where ntimes is an integer value in
the range 0 through 10. The persistence count is the number of times the OSS
Monitor will automatically restart the server during a 10-minute period.
The persistence count helps to prevent excessive attempts at restarting or an
endless loop during restart. The OSS Monitor counts the number of restart
attempts for each server during the previous 10 minutes; this number is the current
persistence count.
Once the current persistence count for a server reaches the number specified for it
for AUTORESTART, the OSS Monitor no longer attempts to restart it and
generates an EMS event so that the operator can attempt to identify and correct a
possible problem. After the problem is corrected, the operator must take an action
that causes the current persistence count to be reset to 0; otherwise, the server
and any associated filesets will not be automatically restarted.
A server’s current persistence count is reset to 0 at the following times:
•
When the OSS Monitor starts or restarts
•
When an SCF STOP SERVER, START SERVER, or ALTER SERVER
command for the affected server is completed
•
When a START FILESET command for a fileset managed by the affected OSS
name server is completed
•
After the server has run for 10 minutes without being restarted
The current persistence count for each server is incremented when that server
terminates abnormally or is stopped by something other than SCF. The current
persistence count is not incremented because of processor failure.
When the AUTORESTART option is omitted from the ADD SERVER command,
the default specification is AUTORESTART 3.
BACKUPCPU backup_processor
specifies the processor number of the processor where the backup server process
will run. backup_processor is either an integer in the range 0 through 15 or
equal to -1.
The value -1 specifies that an OSS name server.
If the BACKUPCPU parameter is omitted, the processor for the backup server
process is unchanged.
