Configuring and Starting Initiator and Responder
Processes
Changing Process Configurations
Once a process is started, you may need to adjust PROCESS attributes for your
installation. You can change the values of all attributes listed in Table 2-9 on page 2-19
using the ALTER command in SCF. You must first stop the process before issuing the
ALTER command. Processes must change from the STOPPED state to the STARTED
state for the altered attribute to take effect.
For example, to change the maximum number of associations allowed between the user
and the initiator process added earlier, issue the following sequence of commands:
STOP PROCESS $AMGR.#FTAMI.FTI1
ALTER PROCESS $AMGR.#FTAMI.FTI1, MAXASSOC 4
START PROCESS $AMGR.#FTAMI.FTI1
This example changes the value of the MAXASSOC attribute from the presently
configured value to a value of 4.
One PROCESS attribute does not require a process to be in the STOPPED state for you
to change its value. ALLOWSU allows and disallows the automatic regeneration of
subdevices for responder processes. You can issue the SCF ALTER command to a
responder process at any time to change this attribute. The change will take effect
immediately. You do not have to issue a START command to implement the attribute
change in the running process.
Deleting Processes
Deleting a process removes the process definition from the MIB of the APLMGR
process. You delete a process when you no longer need that process configuration to
perform the tasks for which it was created.
Use the SCF DELETE command to remove process definitions from the MIB. The
following example illustrates how to issue the DELETE command to remove FTAM
initiator process FTI2:
DELETE PROCESS $AMGR.#FTAMI.FTI2
The process must be in the STOPPED state before the DELETE command can
successfully remove it. When a process is in the STOPPED state, the actual Guardian
process no longer exists.
