ADD PROFILE Command
If an unrecoverable disk-process error is detected but the processor is not halted,
the disk processes perform these actions:
•
If the backup disk process detects the error, the disk state remains unchanged
and the backup disk process goes into a soft-down state but does not halt.
The primary disk process continues to function without an active backup.
•
If the primary disk process detects the error, it gives ownership of the disk to
the backup disk process. If the ownership change is successful, the primary
disk process becomes a soft-down backup (the process is not available). If the
ownership change is unsuccessful, the disk volume goes into the STOPPED
state, substate DOWN.
•
If both processes enter a soft-down state, the volume enters the STOPPED
state, substate DOWN.
To restore the backup disk process:
1. Issue a RESET DISK command to ensure that all paths start.
2. Issue a START DISK command to reactivate the backup disk process.
If the RESET or START command fails, you must reload the backup processor.
HIGHPIN { ON | OFF }
specifies whether the IOP can run at a high PIN (ON, the default) or only at a low
PIN (OFF).
LKIDLONGPOOLLEN number
is the memory (in 128-kilobyte units) to be allocated for lock key space. This space
stores keys larger than 16 bytes when records in key-sequenced files are locked.
number is in the range 0 through 512. A value of 0 causes DP2 to use an internal
default value. For the ADD command, the default value is 8.
LKTABLESPACELEN number
is the memory (in 128-kilobyte units) to be allocated for lock-related data
structures. The memory available for these structures limits the total file and record
locks allowed on the disk. number is in the range 0 through 512. A value of 0
3 Never halt the primary processor.
The backup processor halts, but the primary disk process can go into the
STOPPED state, substate DOWN if it detects an unrecoverable disk-
process error.
4 Allow both processors to halt.
Both the primary and backup processors can halt if either detects an
unrecoverable disk-process error.
