START Command
Operational Notes
There are a number of things you should remember when using the START command:
•
The PORT object returns an object subtype in the ZPAM-TKN-OBJ-SUBTYPE
token. The object subtype values are
ZPAM-VAL-PORT-TYPE-ENET
ZPAM-VAL-PORT-TYPE-LLC1
•
You can use the ZCOM-TKN-SUB token to start the specified object and/or
subordinate objects. The acceptable values for this token are as follows:
ZCOM-VAL-SUB-ALL
starts the specified object and its subordinate objects, if any.
ZCOM-VAL-SUB-NONE
starts only the specified object and does not affect the operation of any
subordinate objects. This has the same effect as not having the ZCOM-TKN-
SUB token present.
ZCOM-VAL-SUB-ONLY
starts only subordinate objects and does not affect the specified object.
•
You can use the ZCOM-TKN-SEL-SUMSTATE token to start only those objects
that are currently in the STOPPED summary state.
•
You can use both the ZCOM-TKN-SUB and the ZCOM-TKN-SEL-SUMSTATE
tokens, in combination, to start only those objects and/or subordinate objects in (or
not in) the STOPPED summary state.
•
Some objects must be added before they can be started. The ADD command leaves
objects in the STOPPED summary state. The START command leaves objects in the
STARTED summary state.
•
When starting an object takes a long time to complete, the response from a STATUS
command reports the object to be in the STARTING summary state.
•
The ZPAM-VAL-PORT-TYPE-ENET subtype is invalid for the Token Ring
ServerNet adapter (TRSA).
•
The START command does not apply to LLC2 type ports.
