PRIMARY Command
The PRIMARY command causes the backup CPU to become the primary CPU and the
primary CPU to become the backup CPU. This is a sensitive command.
Command Syntax for the PRIMARY Command
Syntax:
OUT file-spec
causes any SCF output generated for this command to be directed to the specified
file.
PROCESS process-name | LINE line-name
designates the process or line that is to have its primary and backup CPUs
switched. If you omit process-name or line-name, the assumed object is
switched (for information about the ASSUME command, see the SCF Reference
Manual for G-Series RVUs or SCF Reference Manual for H-Series RVUs).
number
is the number of the CPU of the backup process.
Examples of the PRIMARY Command
The following command causes the backup CPU (CPU 1) to become the primary CPU
for the PROCESS object named $X25P1 (the primary process at the time you issue
the command becomes the backup process after you execute the command):
-> PRIMARY PROCESS $x25p1, 1
The following command causes the backup CPU (CPU 1) to become the primary CPU
for the LINE object named $X25P1 (the primary process at the time you issue the
command becomes the backup process after you execute the command):
-> PRIMARY LINE $x25p1, 1
Caution. Exercise caution when using the PRIMARY or SWITCH command. Either command
causes all SVCs to clear and PVCs to reset. Before you use either command, it is a good idea
to warn other users so they can close any open files.
