PRIMARY PROCESS Command
PRIMARY PROCESS Command
The PRIMARY PROCESS command causes the manager process to switch to its
backup processor. The primary processor then becomes the backup processor.
The PRIMARY PROCESS command has the following syntax:
PROCESS process-name
specifies the name of the PROCESS object that is to switch processors.
backup-processor-number
specifies the number of the backup processor.
Considerations
Consider the following points when using the PRIMARY PROCESS command:
•
PRIMARY PROCESS is a sensitive command requiring super-group access.
•
For this command to succeed, the backup process must be active, and the specified
processor number must be the processor on which the backup process is running.
•
Use the INFO PROCESS command to determine which processor is being used by
the backup process.
Example
The following command switches the manager process $ZNFS to processor number 3:
->PRIMARY PROCESS $ZNFS, 3
START LAN Command
The START LAN command starts one or more LAN interface processes. A LAN
interface process provides a connection from the OSS NFS subsystem to the specified
TCP/IP process (for conventional NonStop TCP/IP) or to the specified TCPSAM
process (for Parallel Library TCP/IP). This connection makes the OSS NFS subsystem
available to clients through the specified TCP/IP interface.
For conventional NonStop TCP/IP, you can define more than one LAN object, but only
one LAN interface process for each TCP/IP process can be in a STARTED state at the
same time. For Parallel Library TCP/IP, you cannot define more than one LAN object
for the entire Parallel Library TCP/IP subsystem. Typically, SERVER objects are started
before LAN objects so that remote clients do not see a partial file hierarchy.
