SCF Reference Manual for the Kernel Subsystem

If n is 0 (the default), this process is not automatically restarted.
If n is 1 through 10, this process is restarted as many as n times in 10 minutes.
If n is greater than 0 when a processor fails, the processor is reloaded and its previously
running generic processes are restarted, but the value of n is not decremented. For more
information about what conditions decrement the count, see Table 5: Effect of Stopping on the
Persistence of a Generic Process (page 46).
For more information about using the AUTORESTART attribute, see “Persistence Considerations”
(page 45).
BACKUPCPU n
specifies the processor in which this process should start its backup process. For more
information, see “Controlling Where a Generic Process Starts” (page 43) and “Controlling
When a Generic Process Starts” (page 43).
To specify this attribute, you must also specify (or have previously specified) the PRIMARYCPU
attribute, but you must not specify the CPU attribute.
The variable n can be from 0 through the maximum number of processors (the BACKUPCPU
value specified cannot be the same as the PRIMARYCPU value).
You should not specify BACKUPCPU for any OSS persistent process.
CPU { ALL | FIRST | FIRSTOF (n,n1,...) | n | (n,n1,...) }
specifies one or more processors in which to start this process. For more information, see
“Controlling Where a Generic Process Starts” (page 43).
Specifying the CPU attribute clears any earlier configured PRIMARYCPU and BACKUPCPU
attributes.
ALL
specifies that an instance of the process be started in all processors, even if a processor is
currently not up. If you specify ALL, you must limit the process name specified in this ADD
command to one, two, or three alphanumeric characters. A two-digit processor number is
appended to the process name.
FIRST
specifies that the process be started in the first available processor.
Because processors 0 and 1 are always the first processors to be loaded, avoid configuring
too many generic processes with CPU FIRST because this can lead to an uneven load
balance among the processors in the system. OSS persistent processes running in multiple
processors cannot have a specification of FIRST.
FIRSTOF (n,n1,...)
specifies that the process be started in the first available processor in the designated group.
If the processor in which a process is configured fails (for example, processor 2), the process
automatically starts in the next available processor (for example, processor 3). OSS persistent
processes running in multiple processors cannot have a specification of FIRST OF.
n
specifies that the process be started in processor n.
(n,n1,...)
specifies that an instance of the process be started in each specified processor, even if a
processor is currently not up. You must limit the process name specified in this ADD command
to one, two, or three alphanumeric characters. A two-digit processor number is appended
to the process name.
DEFAULTVOL $vol[.subvol ]
specifies the default volume and subvolume information sent to this process (in the startup
message) when it is started.
