ALTER MON Command
ALTER MON Attributes 
[ , BACKUPCPU number ] 
[ , HIGHPIN { ON | OFF } ]
[ , MODE { NOISY | QUIET } ]
[ , PRIMARYCPU number ] 
[ , PROGRAM [[$vol.]subvol.]fileid ] 
BACKUPCPU number 
is the processor in which the backup IOP starts. The process must be in the 
STOPPED state or not running for you to alter this attribute.
HIGHPIN { ON | OFF } 
specifies whether the IOP can run at a high PIN (ON, the default) or only at a low 
PIN (OFF). 
MODE { NOISY | QUIET } 
specifies whether to generate additional EMS messages for debugging. 
PRIMARYCPU number 
is the processor in which the primary IOP starts. The process must be in the 
STOPPED state or not running for you to alter this attribute. 
PROGRAM [[$vol.]subvol.]fileid 
is the object file name of the IOP. If not specified, PROGRAM is:
$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.OMP
If you specify the program file name location as $SYSTEM.SYSTEM, the operating 
system first searches for the file there and on the current SYSnn subvolume. 
ALTER MON Examples 
See the procedure for Altering the Values of the SMF Master Process Attributes on 
page 4-5.
