Considerations
LAN lan-name
specifies the name of the LAN object whose operation is to be terminated.
SEL [ NOT ] state
specifies the summary state select option. You can use the SEL option to specify
that you want to abort only LAN objects in the STARTED summary state.
Considerations
Consider the following points when using the ABORT LAN command:
•
ABORT LAN is a sensitive command requiring super-group access.
•
When you abort a LAN object, it must be in the STARTED summary state.
•
This command proceeds even though there are requests pending for a LAN interface
process. The consistency of OSS NFS data structures is preserved, but client
applications might be disrupted.
•
Use the STOP LAN command if you want to stop the operation of LAN objects in a
more controlled manner. The STOP LAN command does not abruptly terminate in-
progress activities.
•
The ABORT LAN command clears the RESTART attribute. The RESTART
attribute determines whether or not a subsequent START SUBSYS command
initiates an attempt to restart the stopped LAN object. The ABORT LAN command
should only be used when you do not want to restart the same configuration of LAN
interface and server processes that are currently running. To abort a LAN object
without clearing the RESTART attribute, use the ABORT SUBSYS command.
•
While a LAN object is stopped, no corresponding LAN interface process exists, and
therefore no NFS operations can be accepted over the TCP/IP port serviced by that
process.
•
Aborting a LAN object does not cause any SERVER objects to be stopped.
However, when no LAN object is in the STARTED summary state, SERVER objects
in the STARTED summary state are unable to receive or respond to RPC calls.
•
Use the START LAN command to reinitiate the operation of the aborted LAN
object.
•
Use the STATUS LAN command to determine the current summary state of LAN
objects.
•
Use the DELETE LAN command to remove a LAN object from the OSS NFS
subsystem.
Example
The following command aborts a LAN object named $ZNFS.LAN0:
->ABORT LAN $ZNFS.LAN0
