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

1. Before removing an SMF master process from the system configuration database, verify that:
• The MON process is stopped.
• TMF is running.
• The CATALOGLOCATION volume for the SMF master process is started and enabled by
TMF.
• Stop the SMF master process:
-> STOP $ZSMS
The SMF master process finishes any current activity before entering the STOPPED state.
2. Delete the SMF master process:
-> DELETE MON $ZSMS
3. Verify the deletion:
-> INFO $ZSMS
Managing the SMF Master Process
Management tasks for the SMF master process include:
• “Starting the SMF Master Process” (page 46)
• “Stopping the SMF Master Process” (page 46)
• “Resetting the SMF Master Process” (page 47)
• “Swapping Processors for the SMF Master Process” (page 47)
Starting the SMF Master Process
The “START MON Command” (page 275) starts the SMF master process and puts it in the STARTED
state.
Considerations for START MON
• Before starting the SMF master process, verify that:
◦ $ZSMS has a configuration record (as verified by the INFO command).
◦ TMF is running on the system.
◦ The CATALOGLOCATION volume for $ZSMS is started, and is enabled by TMF.
◦ To take $ZSMS out of the SERVICING state, reset it and start it again.
Starting $ZSMS
1. Start the process:
-> START $ZSMS
2. Verify the process is started:
-> STATUS $ZSMS
Stopping the SMF Master Process
The “STOP MON Command” (page 291), like the “ABORT MON Command” (page 193), stops
access to the SMF master process.
-> STOP $ZSMS
The SMF master process finishes any current activity before entering the STOPPED state.
