Execution States
Execution States
To control the execution state of SMF processes, you use two PUP commands: UP
and DOWN. A process in the UP execution state is fully operational. A process in the
DOWN execution state is capable of supporting only informational operations. Other
PUP commands, which you use to define and manage storage pools and virtual disks
and manage SMF processes, require that a process be in the UP or DOWN execution
state or in other states. For more information about various process states see
Controlling Process States on page B-24.
Several other commands can be used to manage SMF processes:
Defining Storage Pools and Virtual Disks
To define storage pools and virtual disks, $ZSMS must be running so it can update its
POOLTBL and VDPTBL catalog files.
Storage Pool Configuration
To configure a storage pool, use the PUP DEFINEPOOL command to name the
storage pool and define its configuration attributes:
DEFINEPOOL $MYPOOL [attributes]
The name, $MYPOOL, in this example, must be the same as that for a process
configured or to be configured as a storage pool process in OSCONFIG using COUP.
The attributes describe such storage pool characteristics as physical catalog location
and characteristics of volumes in the pool.
To modify the attributes of a storage pool, use the PUP REDEFINEPOOL command.
To delete a storage pool configuration, use the PUP DELETEPOOL command to
delete information about the storage pool from the $ZSMS catalog and the COUP
DELETE command to delete the OSCONFIG entry for the corresponding process.
PUP PRIMARY Changes the processor in which a process is executing to its
backup processor and makes the current primary processor the
new backup processor (takes effect immediately)
COUP ALTER Changes the attribute values of a process in its OSCONFIG
entry (does not take effect until the process is restarted)
COUP DELETE Deletes an OSCONFIG entry for a process that has been
stopped (does not take effect until the process is restarted)
