STOP PROCESSORS
Purpose
Use STOP PROCESSORs at the server console prompt to stop one or more
secondary processors in a multiprocessor computer.
NOTE: Because Processor 0, the boot processor, cannot be taken offline while the
server is running, STOP PROCESSORS affects only secondary processors.
Syntax
STOP PROCESSORS [n...]
Using STOP PROCESSORS
Run the DISPLAY PROCESSORS command before stopping a secondary
processor to determine the processor’s status and its number. (See “DISPLAY
PROCESSORS” on page 46.)
When you stop a processor, the threads that were running on the processor are
automatically migrated to another processor.
If you run STOP PROCESSORS without specifying the identifying number
or numbers of the processors, all secondary processors will be stopped.
For more information, see Starting and Stopping Processors.
