Shutting Down a PATHMON Environment
Restarting a PATHMON Environment (COOL Start Option)
To restart a PATHMON environment, use the COOL start option as follows:
= START PATHWAY COOL
In response to this command, the PATHMON process:
•
Starts the PATHMON backup process if one is specified.
•
Uses the existing configuration file as a basis for creating its operating
environment. The existing configuration file represents the PATHMON
configuration at the time the system stopped (due to shutdown or failure).
•
Prompts you, if the PATHMON process name is different from the name stored in
the PATHCTL file, that the PATHMON name has been changed in the PATHCTL
file.
If you do not want to receive this prompt, you can use the COOL! option as follows:
= START PATHWAY COOL!
Shutting Down a PATHMON Environment
You can shut down your PATHMON environment by stopping all PATHMON-controlled
objects collectively with the SHUTDOWN2 command.
Figure 2-6. Starting a New PATHMON Environment
Note. If you have altered the node independence, owner or security attributes, or you have
increased or decreased system limits, you must specify a cold start operation to restart the
PATHMON environment, as shown in this example:
= START PATHWAY COLD!
This command directs the PATHMON process to overwrite the existing configuration file with
the new information. If you use the COOL start option, the PATHMON process uses the old
configuration file.
