RPC Procedure Description

 

void
SM_NOTIFY(struct stat_chge) = 6;

Description

If a host has a state change, either a crash and reboot or the NSM has processed an SM_SIMU_CRASH call, the local NSM must notify each host on its notify list (see SM_MON) of the change in state.

"mon_name" is the name of the host that had the state change. "state" is the new state for the host.

When an NSM receives the SM_NOTIFY call it must search its notify list for "mon_name". The host "mon_name" will be found in the notify list if an SM_MON call was made to the NSM to register the host. The NSM must call the RPC program, version, procedure number on the hostname supplied in the "my_id" field of the SM_MON parameter. This RPC will be called with the following parameter:

 

struct    status {
    string mon_name<SM_MAXSTRLEN>;
    int    state;
    opaque priv[16];        /*  for private information  */
};

Where "mon_name" and "state" are copied from the SM_NOTIFY parameters. "priv" is the information supplied in the corresponding field of the SM_MON call that registered the host "mon_name".

Return Codes

None.
