DSC/COUP Commands
Table B-1 summarizes the COUP commands you use to configure and manage
$ZSMS, storage pool processes, and virtual disk processes. For additional information
on specific prerequisites of certain command operations, see COUP and PUP
Prerequisite Summary on page B-52.
Following a discussion of the PROCESS attribute set, each command summarized in
Table B-1 is described in detail. Refer to the Dynamic System Configuration (DSC)
Manual for complete information about using the DSC utility and its COUP interface.
PROCESS Attribute Set
The PROCESS attribute set is a collection of attributes that describe an SMF process.
You specify these attributes as parameters in the following commands: SET, ADD, and
ALTER. The parameters listed constitute the subset of COUP PROCESS attribute
parameters that have an effect on SMF processes. COUP supports somewhat different
Table B-1. COUP Command Summary
