Controlling FOX Rings
FOX ring control tasks include the following:
•
Starting a FOX Direct Logical Path
•
Starting an LBU
•
Stopping an LBU
•
Starting the FOX Monitor Process
•
Switching Primary and Backup Processors for the FOX Monitor Process
•

Controlling Expand-over-FOX line-handler processes and lines is explained in the
Expand Configuration and Management Manual.
Starting a FOX Direct Logical Path
Use the ServerNet/FX adapter subsystem SCF START PATH command to start a FOX
direct logical path.
The following command starts the FOX direct logical path XL from processor 11 in the
local cluster to processor 2 in \AWAY4:
SCF> START PATH $ZZFOX.11, TO \AWAY4.2, SUB XL
The following command starts the FOX direct logical path YR from processor 7 in the
local cluster to processor 5 in \AWAY4:
SCF> START PATH $ZZFOX.7, TO \AWAY4.5, SUB YR
The following command starts all the FOX direct logical paths from processor 1 in the
local cluster to all the processors in \AWAY4:
SCF> START PATH $ZZFOX.1, TO \AWAY4.*
Starting an LBU
You can start an LBU by using the ServerNet/FX adapter subsystem SCF interface, the
OSM Service Connection, or the TSM Service Application.
Note. In this subsection, the term cable neighbor refers to a neighboring cluster in a FOX ring.
Note. The ability of the START PATH command to bring up a FOX direct logical path depends
on how the FOX direct logical path went down. For instance, a FOX direct logical path cannot
be recovered if the logical LBU connection associated with it is also down.
