1.162 STOP PROCESSORS

Purpose

Use STOP PROCESSORs at the server console prompt to stop one or more secondary processors in a multiprocessor computer.

NOTE:Because Processor 0, the boot processor, cannot be taken offline while the server is running, STOP PROCESSORS affects only secondary processors.

Syntax



STOP PROCESSORS [n...]

Parameter

Use to

(no parameters)

Stop all secondary processors.

n...

Specify by number the secondary processors to stop.

Using STOP PROCESSORS

Run the DISPLAY PROCESSORS command before stopping a secondary processor to determine the processor's status and its number. (See DISPLAY PROCESSORS.)

When you stop a processor, the threads that were running on the processor are automatically migrated to another processor.

If you run STOP PROCESSORS without specifying the identifying number or numbers of the processors, all secondary processors will be stopped.

For more information, see Starting and Stopping Processors in the NW 6.5 SP8: Server Operating SystemAdministration Guide.
