ABORT Command
DSNM Commands
2–8 098571 Tandem Computers Incorporated
ABORT Command The ABORT command causes DSNM to issue the subsystem-specific command(s) that
stops each object. When an object is stopped, its state changes to the subsystem state
that corresponds to the DSNM DOWN state. The ABORT command stops objects
without waiting for any outstanding operations to be completed. This command is
more emergency-oriented than the STOP command, which stops objects only after
outstanding operations are finished.
If all objects specified in the command are stopped, there is no command response. If
the command fails to stop any object, a response message lists the objects that were not
stopped. If the command contains a syntax error, an error message is returned and the
objects are not stopped.

objectspec
is the object specification. The syntax for the object specification is provided in
the beginning of this section, under "Command-Line Syntax." Detailed discussion
of the object specification is provided in Section 3, “Object Specifications.”
hierarchy-modifier
determines which objects are affected by the command, based on the subsystem
object hierarchy:
ONLY causes the command to affect the specified objects, but not
the objects that are subordinate to them. The ONLY
hierarchy modifier is ineffective with some object types if the
subordinate objects are still up.
SUBONLY causes the command to affect the objects subordinate to the
specified objects, but not the specified objects themselves.
ALL causes the command to affect both the specified objects and
their subordinate objects.
The default value is ALL See Section 5, “Subsystems,” for information on how
individual subsystems interpret this modifier. See Section 4, “Modifiers,” for
detailed information on the hierarchy modifier.
