Starting SMF Processes

Before defining storage pools and virtual disks or starting the processes that manage
them, $ZSMS must be configured and started. As

Figure 3-2

indicates, you use the

COUP START PROCESS command for D-series versions, or the SCF START MON
command for G-series versions, to start $ZSMS.

Storage pool processes and virtual disk processes that have been configured are also
started by using the COUP START command for D-series versions, or the SCF START
command for G-series versions.

After it is started, an SMF process is automatically restarted whenever the primary
processor in which it runs is loaded or reloaded.

Process Parameters

You control SMF processes with various attributes that you set as parameters when
you add each process. You can also alter some of them dynamically. These
parameters describe every aspect of SMF processes, such as their type, their CPU,
audit and mirror status, and so on. They are used to define your SMF configuration and
to balance and tune your system. Refer to

PROCESS Attribute Set

on page B-7,

Storage Pool Attribute Set

on page B-27, and

Virtual Disk Attribute Set

on page B-29

for detailed descriptions of all process parameters.

Following are some of the most useful process parameters.
