SCF Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem (G06.28+, H06.05+, J06.03+)

ABORT DISK Command
The ABORT DISK command puts a disk into the STOPPED state, substate HARDDOWN, but leaves
the disk process running. The syntax is:
ABORT [ / OUT file-spec / ] DISK $disk[-P |-B |-M |-MB ]
[ , FORCED ] [ , POOL $pool ] [ , SEL state ]
[ , SUB { ALL | MAGNETIC | VIRTUAL } ]
Wild-card characters are supported.
OUT file-spec
directs all SCF output to the specified file.
DISK $disk[-P |-B |-M |-MB ]
is the disk name and the path (primary, backup, mirror, or mirror backup). A single path
specification is required for physical disks. There is no path specification for virtual disks.
FORCED
specifies that the command be executed without any interaction with the user, even if the
command stops the last path to the device or files are open on the device.
If you use this attribute, you must first stop all processes that use the disk to store object code
(programs) or swap files. Otherwise, a %5113 halt could occur.
POOL $pool
specifies that the command is performed only on disks associated with the specified storage
pool.
SEL state
specifies that the command affects only devices in the specified state.
SUB { ALL | MAGNETIC | VIRTUAL }
specifies that the command affects only disks of the specified type. The default is ALL.
See “Attribute Descriptions for Disk Commands” (page 198) for descriptions of all attributes for disk
commands.
ABORT DISK Examples
• To immediately stop the mirror path of $DATA00:
-> ABORT $DATA00-M
• To immediately stop the mirror paths of $DATA00 and $DATA01, even if files are open or if
all other paths to the disk are down:
-> ABORT ($DATA00-M, $DATA01-M), FORCED
See “Stopping a Disk With the ABORT DISK Command” (page 102).
ABORT MON Command
The ABORT MON command stops access to the SMF master process (same as the “STOP MON
Command” (page 291)). The syntax is:
ABORT [ / OUT file-spec / ] MON $ZSMS
Wild-card characters are supported.
OUT file-spec
directs all SCF output to the specified file.
MON $ZSMS
