SERVER Commands
NonStop TS/MP System Management Manual—541819-001
12-36
Examples
PROCESS $process-name
specifies the name of a single server in the server class.
SERVER *
starts all server classes in the PATHMON configuration file and in the correct state.
Considerations
•
The START SERVER command starts the number of servers defined by the SET
SERVER NUMSTATIC attribute for the server class.
•
For information on starting associative servers, see “Associative Servers” under
SET SERVER Command earlier in this section.
Guardian Server Startup Protocol
The PATHMON process selects a processor pair from the list specified with the CPUS
attribute of the SET SERVER command, or selects the processor specified with the
PROCESS attribute of the SET SERVER command.
The startup protocol for servers consists of these steps:
1. The PATHMON process creates the server by calling the NEWPROCESS or
PROCESS_CREATE_ procedure.
The server process context includes all DEFINEs specified in the server class
configuration (using the SET SERVER DEFINE command).
2. The PATHMON process sends the server a startup message.
The startup message has a header that is constructed from what you specified for
the IN, OUT, and VOLUME attributes in the SET SERVER command. If you
specified a character string for the STARTUP attribute, that is also included.
3. If the server replies with a value of 70 (FECONTINUE) to the startup message, the
PATHMON process sends ASSIGN and PARAM messages to the server.
The ASSIGN messages are constructed directly from the information you provided for
the ASSIGN attribute to the SET SERVER command. The PARAM message contains
one item for each attribute value you specified for the PARAM attribute of the SET
SERVER command. The number of the processor not chosen as the primary
processor is reported in the BACKUPCPU attribute, which the PATHMON process
adds to the PARAM message. For a description of how this value is chosen, see the
information about CPUS attribute of the SET SERVER command.
Examples
This command starts all of the static servers defined for all server classes:
START SERVER *
