startservice

Use the startservice command to enter a service state.

Syntax

 satask  startservice    [  -force  ]   [  panel_name  ]

Parameters

satask
(Required) Specifies a system administrator task, such as issuing service commands that are only used in specific circumstances.
-force
(Optional) Overrides checking of clustered system (system) membership.
Important: Using the force parameter might result in a loss of access. Use it only under the direction of your product support information.
panel_name
(Optional) Identifies the node being serviced.
Note: If panel_name is not supplied, this applies to the node on which the command is running.

Description

This command causes a node to go into service state. For example, a user might put a system node into service state to remove it from candidate state or to prevent it from automatically being added to a system again.

The -force flag is required if the action could interrupt I/O (last node in cluster or IO group). This command holds the node in service state until it is cleared using the satask stopservice command, or until the I/O process is restarted.
