SMIT Help Information for System Resource Controller

Note: The information contained in this article is structured as help information for the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) and is not intended for use as a procedural or conceptual article.

SUBSERVER name

Selects the subserver to act upon.

SUBSERVER name

Subserver name to act upon.

Subsystem name

Select the subsystem to start.

Subsystem PROCESS ID

Select the active subsystem to act upon.

Subsystems

Query, Start, Stop, or Trace a subsystem that is defined to run under the System Resource Controller.

Subservers

Query, Start, Stop, or Trace a subserver that is defined to run under the System Resource Controller.

Query TYPE

Choose whether to request a short or long status for a subserver.

List All Subsystems

Lists the current status of all defined subsystems.

Query a Subsystem

Requests that a subsystem send its current status in long form.

Query a Subserver

Requests that a subsystem send the current status of a subserver.

Refresh a Subsystem

Requests a refresh of a subsystem or group of subsystems.

Start a Subsystem

Specifies a subsystem to be started.

Start a Subserver

Specifies that a subserver is to be started.

Stop Subsystem

Sends a request to the System Resource Controller to stop a subsystem, a group of subsystems, or all subsystems.

Stop TYPE

A normal stop requests that a subsystem or subserver complete all current processing, release resources when all application activity has been completed, and then end. No new requests for work should be accepted by the subsystem.

A forced stop requests that a subsystem or subserver end quickly, releasing all resources, but not wait for application activity to complete.

A cancel action stops the subsystem after the subsystem's resources are freed-up and after a grace period.

Stop All Subsystems

Specifies that all subsystems are to be stopped.

Stop a Single Subsystem

Specifies a subsystem to be stopped.

Stop a Subserver

Specifies that a subserver is to be stopped.

Stop Trace

Turns off tracing of a subsystem, a group of subsystems, or a subserver.

Start Trace

Turns on tracing of a subsystem, a group of subsystems, or a subserver.

The traceson command sends the System Resource Controller a subsystem request packet that is forwarded to the subsystem to turn tracing on. Tracing is unsuccessful if the communication method for the subsystems is signals.

Note: Tracing is subsystem-dependant.

Tracing may occur in either short or long form.

Trace Subsystem

You can turn tracing on or off for a particular subsystem.

Trace a Subserver

You can turn tracing on or off for a particular subserver.
