Example

The following command starts a LAN object named LAN0:

->START LAN $ZNFS.LAN0

START SERVER Command

The START SERVER command starts one or more server processes. Starting a server

has the effect of performing a local mount using the server’s mount point. You must

start SERVER objects in the correct order; that is, start at the root of the local file

hierarchy so that each server’s mount point is defined at the time it is started.

You can define any number of SERVER objects, but only the number of servers

specified in the MAXSERVERS startup parameter can be in a STARTED state at the

same time. (If no MAXSERVERS value is specified, only 16 server processes can be in

a STARTED state at the same time.)

The START SERVER command has the following syntax:

SERVER server-name

specifies the name of the SERVER object to be started.

SEL [ NOT ] state

specifies the summary state select option. You can use the SEL option to specify that

you want to start only SERVER objects in the STOPPED summary state.

Considerations

Consider the following points when using the START SERVER command:

•

START SERVER is a sensitive command requiring super-group access or super-ID

access if NULL-ALIAS-OK and ROOT-USER-OK are TRUE.

•

Before you start a SERVER object, the SERVER object must be defined by using an

ADD SERVER command and must be in the STOPPED summary state.

•

Successfully starting a SERVER object causes the SUBSYS object to enter the

STARTED summary state.

•

If you use an object-name template to start multiple SERVER objects, the SERVER

objects are started in alphabetical order by mount point.

•

You can also start some SERVER objects using the START SUBSYS command.

START SUBSYS starts all restartable LAN interface and server processes in the

same sequence that they were originally started. You can determine whether a

server process is restartable by using the STATUS SERVER command.
