3 SP Control/Status Functions
The following sections describe various control functions and status checks that you can perform
by using the SPMAINT interface.
Stopping and Starting System-Related Processes
This feature allows you to stop and start the spevent and spcollect processes for a particular
system. It may be useful as a diagnostic procedure to stop and then start the system-related processes
if you are having problems with the SP communicating with the system.
Unlike what occurs in maintenance mode, the stopping of system-related processes does not attempt
to limit or accept events that can occur while system-related processes are stopped. When the
processes are restarted manually or as a result of restarting the SP, all pending collected data are
transferred to HP 3PAR Central or an HP 3PAR Authorized Service Provider.
NOTE: HP recommends that you do not leave the system-related processes stopped for prolonged
periods of time, as the system event log can roll.
