ALTER SUBNET Command for TCP6MAN
Considerations
•
You cannot ALTER a SUBNET attribute on only one TCP6MON. ALTER SUBNET
only accepts the wild card (*) notation for the process name on the TCP6MON
object; hence, alterations to a SUBNET change all TCP6MONs. The wild card,
however, is optional; if you do not specify it, the wild card is assumed.
•
For naming conventions and reserved object names, see Table 8-2 on page 8-7.
•
The object must be in the STOPPED summary state when the ALTER command is
issued for any attribute except ADDALIAS and DELETEALIAS. Both ADDALIAS
and DELETEALIAS can be altered when the SUBNET is in the STARTED state
without having to place them in the STOPPED state.
•
When the ALTER command is completed, the object remains in the same
summary state that existed before you issued the command.
•
Use the INFO command to view the current attribute values.
•
Do not use the RESERVED IP address for data traffic because the RESERVED IP
address is not guaranteed to survive an adapter failure.
•
No other option parameters are allowed in the ALTER SUBNET command when
the ASSOCIATESUB parameter is present.
•
For the two SUBNETs configured as a failover pair, you cannot assign an alias
address before the ASSOCIATESUB is done.
•
For the two SUBNETs configured as a failover pair, you cannot alter the SUBNET
IP address or subnetmask after they are configured.
•
In a failover-enabled SUBNET pair with SHAREDIP, one SUBNET is designated as
primary after completion of the ALTER SUBNET, ASSOCIATESUB command.
