Configuring and Starting Initiator and Responder
Processes
You also can specify the ALLOWSU attribute, which determines if the process is able to
automatically regenerate subdevices. However, normally you will want to leave this
attribute configured with its default value, ON, until you wish to prepare to stop the
process.
If you want to configure additional processes, add a new process when your installation
requires a process with a different configuration or when it requires an additional
process with the same configuration (for example, to increase the capacity of your
FTAM subsystem).
When you add processes, you are defining their attributes and storing them in the
APLMGR MIB. The next step in configuring your installation is starting the processes
you have added. The START command causes APLMGR to create a process and get it
running.
Starting Processes
Use the SCF START command to place a process in the STARTED state. The following
commands start the initiator and responder processes that were added to the Example
FTAM Configuration on page 3-38:
START PROCESS $AMGR.#FTAMI.FTI1
START PROCESS $AMGR.#FTAMR.FTR1
Once these commands have been executed, the processes are able to accept commands
and perform requested services.
Note. If the startup procedure for initiator processes is not fully completed before a connection
is requested, system problems will occur. To avoid this problem, you should wait 10 seconds
after starting an initiator process before requesting a connection. In SCF command files, you
can add a DELAY 10 command immediately after the START PROCESS command.
