PPD Command
pname
is the name of the process. The name $Z000 identifies the initial process that
was started when the system was cold loaded from disk.
pcpu
is the CPU number and process number of the primary process in a process
pair, or of the specified process only if it is not a member of a pair.
bcpu
is the CPU number and process number of the backup process in a process
pair. If backup is not displayed, the process has no backup.
aid
is the identity of the ancestor process; that is, the process that created the
process listed under “Name.” If the ancestor is a named process, this field lists
its name; otherwise, this field contains a CPU number and process number. If
the ancestor process node is different from the specified or default node, then
TACL displays the node name. The initial process that was started when the
system was cold loaded from disk has no entry in this field.
There can be three states of an ancestor: AVAILABLE, UNAVAILABLE, and
DEFUNCT.
°
An ancestor process is called as DEFUNCT if it is present in the ancestor
phandle. But currently it does not exist.
°
When we run a process from one system to another, the ancestor of the
process becomes UNAVAILABLE if they are disconnected manually.
°
An ancestor is known to be AVAILABLE if it is in a runnable condition.
If you include \ node-name in your PPD command, the name of the system is
displayed at the beginning of the command listing.
•
The DCT lists only named processes. To name a process that you start with a
RUN command, include the NAME parameter in your command. (For more
information about starting and naming processes, see the description of the
RUN[D|V] Command on page 8-156.)
•
The DCT lists named processes that do not have backups and named process
pairs.
Examples
You can get a listing of all entries in the DCT and send it to the file PROCESS.PAIR by
entering:
