The MON Object
The MON object represents the $ZSMS Storage Management Foundation (SMF) master process,
which maintains information about storage pools and virtual disks on the system. The SMF master
process coordinates modification services for disks and virtual disks (such as defining, deleting,
and redefining) and information services for storage pools. You use the MON object to query and
configure the SMF master process. For more information, see “Configuring and Managing the
SMF Master Process” (page 42).
The MON object has this format:
