stopcondresp Command

Purpose

Stops the monitoring of a condition that has one or more linked responses.

Syntax

To stop monitoring a condition:

stopcondresp [-q] [-h] [-TV] condition[:node_name] [response [response...]]

To unlock or lock the condition/response association:

stopcondresp {-U | -L} [-h] [-TV] condition[:node_name] response

Description

The stopcondresp command stops the monitoring of a condition that has one or more linked responses. If no response is specified, all of the linked responses for the condition are stopped. If one or more responses is specified, only those responses that are linked to the condition are stopped. When the condition occurs, the response is not run. If no responses are active for a condition, the condition is no longer monitored.

If a particular condition/response association is needed for system software to work properly, it may be locked. A locked condition/response association cannot be stopped by the stopcondresp command. If the condition/response link you specify on the stopcondresp command is locked, it will not be stopped; instead an error will be generated informing you that the condition/response association is locked. To unlock a condition/response association, you can use the -U flag. A condition/response association is typically locked because it is essential for system software to work properly, so you should exercise caution before unlocking it.

Flags

-q
Does not return an error when either condition or response does not exist or when the condition linked with response is not being monitored.
-h
Writes the command's usage statement to standard output.
-T
Writes the command's trace messages to standard error. For your software service organization's use only.
-V
Writes the command's verbose messages to standard output.
-U
Unlocks a condition/response association so it can be started, stopped, or removed. If a condition/response association is locked, this is typically because it is essential for system software to work properly. For this reason, you should exercise caution before unlocking it. When unlocking a condition/response association using the -U flag, no other operation can be performed by this command.
-L
Locks a condition/response association so it cannot be started, stopped, or removed. When locking a condition/response association using the -L flag, no other operation can be performed by this command.

Parameters

condition
Specifies the name of the condition linked to the response. The condition is always specified first.
node_name
Specifies the node in the domain where the condition is defined. If node_name is not specified, the local node is used. node_name is a node within the scope determined by the CT_MANAGEMENT_SCOPE environment variable.
response
Specifies the names of one or more responses. Monitoring is stopped for the specified responses. (If a specified response is not linked to the condition, it is ignored.)

Security

The user needs write permission for the IBM.Association resource class to run stopcondresp. Permissions are specified in the access control list (ACL) file on the contacted system. See the RSCT: Administration Guide for details on the ACL file and how to modify it.

Exit Status

0
The command ran successfully.
1
An error occurred with RMC.
2
An error occurred with a command-line interface script.
3
An incorrect flag was entered on the command line.
4
An incorrect parameter was entered on the command line.
5
An error occurred that was based on incorrect command-line input.

Environment Variables

CT_CONTACT
Determines the system where the session with the resource monitoring and control (RMC) daemon occurs. When CT_CONTACT is set to a host name or IP address, the command contacts the RMC daemon on the specified host. If CT_CONTACT is not set, the command contacts the RMC daemon on the local system where the command is being run. The target of the RMC daemon session and the management scope determine the resource classes or resources that are processed.
CT_IP_AUTHENT
When the CT_IP_AUTHENT environment variable exists, the RMC daemon uses IP-based network authentication to contact the RMC daemon on the system that is specified by the IP address to which the CT_CONTACT environment variable is set. CT_IP_AUTHENT only has meaning if CT_CONTACT is set to an IP address; it does not rely on the domain name system (DNS) service.
CT_MANAGEMENT_SCOPE
Determines the management scope that is used for the session with the RMC daemon in processing the resources of the event-response resource manager (ERRM). The management scope determines the set of possible target nodes where the resources can be processed. The valid values are:
0
Specifies local scope.
1
Specifies local scope.
2
Specifies peer domain scope.
3
Specifies management domain scope.

If this environment variable is not set, local scope is used.

Implementation Specifics

This command is part of the Reliable Scalable Cluster Technology (RSCT) fileset for AIX®.

Standard Output

When the -h flag is specified, this command's usage statement is written to standard output. All verbose messages are written to standard output.

Standard Error

All trace messages are written to standard error.

Examples

These examples apply to standalone systems:
  1. To stop monitoring for the condition "FileSystem space used " which has the response "Broadcast event on-shift" linked with it, run this command:
    stopcondresp "FileSystem space used" "Broadcast event on-shift"
  2. To stop monitoring for the condition "FileSystem space used " using all of its linked responses, run this command:
    stopcondresp "FileSystem space used" 
This example applies to management domains:
  1. To stop monitoring for the condition "FileSystem space used " on the managed node nodeB which has the response "Broadcast event on-shift" linked with it, run this command on the management server:
    stopcondresp "FileSystem space used:nodeB" "Broadcast event on-shift"
This example applies to peer domains:
  1. To stop monitoring for the condition "FileSystem space used " on the node nodeA which has the response "Broadcast event on-shift" linked with it, run this command on any node in the domain:
    stopcondresp "FileSystem space used:nodeA" "Broadcast event on-shift"
