ALTER LINE Command
the SNAX/XF and SNAX/APN product calculates a new XPAGES value) or
XPAGES n, where n is the number of XPOOL pages. If the value of MAXPUS or
MAXLUS is increased using an SCF ALTER LINE command without also
specifying XPAGES, an error is returned.

If you are configuring SNAX/APN type 2.1 PUs to share a line with SNAX/XF type
2.0 PUs, a number of additional considerations apply. For details, see
Considerations for Shared Lines on page 13-8.

The SCF ALTER, LIKE command can be used to copy attributes from one object
(usually a line) to another. Users can define attributes for LINE A, then issue the
SCF command ALTER LINE B, LIKE A to configure both lines with exactly the
same attributes.

If the ALTER LINE command is used to increase the previously configured value of
MAXPUS or MAXLUS, then the user must also specify either XPAGES 0 (where
the SNAX/XF product calculates a new XPAGES value) or XPAGES n, where n is
the number of XPOOL pages. If the value of MAXPUS or MAXLUS is increased
using an SCF ALTER LINE command without also specifying XPAGES, an error is
returned.

With SNAX/XF and SNAX/APN, you can configure multiple service managers to
exist concurrently in a single NonStop node; each service manager process
controls its own network configuration (lines, PUs, and LUs). Because this situation
allows many variations, you must take care when altering a configuration. For more
information, see the SNAX/XF and SNAX/APN Configuration and Management
Manual.
If there is a mismatch between the line-handler process and the service manager
either in the SPR or RVU versions or when using multiple service managers, an
error message is returned. For more information, see Appendix C, Error
Messages.

The STATION attribute cannot be altered; an SCF ALTER LINE, STATION
command will be rejected with SCF error message E00125.
