Information
Limited support BMC provides limited support for this version of the product. As a result, BMC no longer accepts comments in this space. If you encounter problems with the product version or the space, contact BMC Support.BMC recommends upgrading to the latest version of the product. To see documentation for that version, see BMC AMI Storage Reporting 8.1.

SVOS loader console commands

The following SVOS loader console commands are available:

 

FORCE command (click to expand)

The FORCE command forces SVOS to go through activation or deactivation processing for a product. You can also use FORCE to reinitialize the SVOS subsystem tables.

Under normal circumstances, this command should not be required. Use the *SSVT and *SSCVT operands only at the request of BMC Customer Support.

Syntax: FORCE{*SSVT|*SSCVT|productName[START|STOP]}

Synonym: None

The productName operand should be used only when a START or STOP command cannot complete. This unusual condition should occur only when a product has been partially activated. When processing the productName operand, if neither START nor STOP has been requested, SVOS simply marks the product as inactive.

Warning

Example

If SVOS had been canceled during SVALLOC initialization, either of the following console commands will force SVOS to restart SVALLOC:

/FORCE SVALLOC,START

or

F SVOS,FORCE SVALLOC,START

At the request of BMC Customer Support, enter either of the following console commands to force SVOS to reinitialize the SSVT for the ETIS subsystem. SVOS uses this subsystem to keep track of the status of BMC products under its control.

/FORCE *SSVT

or

F SVOS,FORCE *SSVT
SHUTDOWN command (click to expand)

The SHUTDOWN command forces SVOS to deactivate all BMC products that were activated by SVOS, which causes SVOS to terminate.

Warning

Note

Use the STOP command to stop a single product that is running under SVOS.

Syntax: SHUTDOWN

Synonym: SHUT

Warning

Example

To deactivate all products that are running under SVOS and terminate SVOS, issue

/SHUTDOWN

or

F SVOS,SHUTDOWN
START command (click to expand)

The START command tells SVOS to activate the requested component.

Starting SVOS starts all components and subcomponents unless a system keyword specifies otherwise (see Starting-MainView-SRM-components-manually).

Syntax: STARTcomponentName[NOVER]

Synonym: S

Use the NOVER operand only at the request of BMC Customer Support. NOVER bypasses the verification procedure that is normally performed before storage is modified. If you specify START NOVER, STOP processing defaults to NOVER also, and all enqueue protection is bypassed on the REFRESH and STOP command for the product. To disable this operand, specify NOVERIFY=NO on the EXEC statement in the SVOS JCL.

STATUS command (click to expand)

The STATUS command instructs SVOS to list information about MainView SRM components. The STATUS command is automatically issued after all of the necessary subcomponents have started.

A STATUS command with no parameters lists the BMC products that are currently active.

Syntax: STATUS[productName| * |VMAP|VER][LIST|ALL]

Synonym: STAT

Specify a value for productName to request information about only that product.

Specify VMAP to display the virtual list of product components and sub-components loaded by MainView SRM.

Specify VER to display the current product version rather than the selection module information.

Specify the LIST operand to display information that SVOS uses to control a product. Under normal conditions, only BMC Customer Support uses the LIST command.

Specify ALL to display the status for all SVOS subsystems for each product, using the VMAP, VER, or product option as supplied.

Warning

Note

To produce a VMAP of all SVOS subsystems, specify ALL. If you specify LIST, it is ignored.

Warning

Example

To display a virtual storage map of all SVOS subsystems, issue

/STATUS VMAP ALL

To see the versions of all started products, issue

/STATUS VER ALL

To display the status of all products across all SVOS subsystems, issue

/STATUS ALL
STOP command (click to expand)

The STOP command tells SVOS to deactivate the requested product.

Warning

Note

Use the SHUTDOWN command if you want to deactivate all MainView SRM components and terminate SVOS.

Syntax: STOPcomponentName[VER|NOVER]

Warning

Note

You can use F SVOS,STOP as an alternative.


Synonym: P

Under normal conditions, the VER and NOVER operands are not needed; use them only at the request of BMC Customer Support. Unless the associated START command requested NOVER, STOP commands perform a verification by default before changing memory. To disable this operand, specify NOVERIFY=NO on the EXEC statement in the SVOS JCL.

Warning

Example

If you want to deactivate SVSGD, issue

/STOP SVSGD

or

F SVOS,STOP SVSGD
