Stops the specified secondary processor or processors (and any associated vector processors). The /CPU qualifier is required. Applies only to OpenVMS multiprocessing systems. Requires CMKRNL (change mode to kernel) privilege. Format STOP/CPU [cpu-id[,...]]
1 – Parameter
cpu-id[,...] Specifies a decimal value representing the identity of a processor in an OpenVMS multiprocessing system. On an Alpha 7000 system, the CPU ID is the backplane slot number of the processor. If you do not specify a CPU ID, the STOP/CPU command selects a processor in the current active set to stop.
2 – Qualifiers
2.1 /ALL
Stops all eligible secondary processors in the system's active set.
2.2 /ASSIGN
/ASSIGN=option (Alpha/Integrity servers only) Assigns specified processors to the hard partition node after they are stopped. Option Description $$HARD_ The configuration tree hard partition node. All PARTITION instances running in the hard partition defined by this node have visibility and access to CPUs owned at this level. Supported only on AlphaServer systems that support partitioning.
2.3 /MIGRATE
/MIGRATE (Alpha/Integrity servers only) Transfers ownership of the CPU from the current instance to another soft partition. Option Description instance_name The name of any valid running instance in the current hard partition. partitionID The numeric ID of any partition (reflected in the configuration tree) in the current hard partition. An operating system instance is not required to be running with this identifier. Supported only on AlphaServer systems that support partitioning.
2.4 /OVERRIDE_CHECKS
Directs the STOP/CPU command to bypass a series of OpenVMS scheduling checks that determine whether the specified processor is eligible for removal from the active set. Note that this is not an unconditional operation; other CPU load or configuration constraints may prevent the specified processor from being stopped.
2.5 /POWER
/POWER=OFF (Alpha/Integrity servers only) Powers down the CPU after it is removed from the active set. The CPU will be powered down while still owned by the instance, prior to any assignments. The /POWER qualifier cannot be used in conjunction with the /MIGRATE qualifier. Supported only on AlphaServer GS series systems.
3 – Examples
1.$ STOP/CPU The STOP/CPU command in this example selects a processor and removes it from the multiprocessing system's active set. 2.$ STOP/CPU 4,7 The STOP/CPU command in this example selects the processors with CPU IDs 4 and 7 and removes them from the multiprocessing system's active set. 3.$ STOP/CPU/OVERRIDE_CHECKS 8 The STOP/CPU/OVERRIDE_CHECKS command in this example overrides some OpenVMS scheduling states that ordinarily prevent the operation and stops the processor with the CPU ID of 8. Then it is removed from active participation in the multiprocessing system. 4.$ STOP/CPU/ALL The STOP/CPU/ALL command in this example stops all eligible secondary processors in the active set and removes them from the multiprocessing system. 5.$ STOP/CPU/MIGRATE=WFGLXE 5 The STOP/CPU/MIGRATE command in this example removes CPU 5 from the current instance's active set and transfers ownership to instance WFGLXE in the current hard partition. 6.$ STOP/CPU/ASSIGN=$$HARD 6 The STOP/CPU/MIGRATE command in this example removes CPU 6 from the current instance's active set and transfers ownership to the hard partition node in the configuration tree. The CPU is immediately available for assignment for any instance within the hard partition defined by that node.
