START Command

DSNM Commands

2–22

098571 Tandem Computers Incorporated

ERROR-DETAIL

returns the same information as ERROR-BRIEF, along with
additional details about the errors. If additional information
is not available, ERROR-BRIEF and ERROR-DETAIL result
in the same response.

ERROR-SUPPRESS

suppresses any response from objects that produce errors.
This option is normally used when it is known in advance
that objects will produce errors and the response is not
desired.

If you do not specify a value for the error modifier, it defaults to ERROR-BRIEF.

state-modifier

restricts the scope of the command to a subset of the specified objects, depending
on their states:

UP

restricts the command to the specified objects that are up.

NOT-UP

restricts the command to the specified objects that are either
down or pending.

DOWN

restricts the command to the specified objects that are down.

NOT-DOWN

restricts the command to the specified objects that are either
up or pending.

If you do not specify a value for the state modifier, DSNM applies the command to
all objects that match your object specification, regardless of their states. For
detailed information on the state modifier, see Section 4, “Modifiers.”

Considerations

In some cases, the SUBONLY modifier has no meaning when issued with the START
command. Some subsystems prevent you from requesting that subordinate objects be
started without starting the objects to which they are subordinate. The SNAX/XF
subsystem requires that SNAX lines be started before PUs and LUs, and Pathway
requires that TCPs be started before terminals. Thus, a SUBONLY modifier in the
START command with a SNAX line that is down indicates that the PUs and LUs be
started on a line that is down—this is impossible, and so the SUBONLY modifier has
no effect. See Section 5, “Subsystems,” for details.
