.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBpsradm\fR utility changes the operational status of processors. The
legal states for the processor are \fBon-line\fR, \fBoff-line\fR, \fBspare\fR,
\fBfaulted\fR, and \fBno-intr\fR.
.sp
.LP
An \fBon-line\fR processor processes \fBLWPs\fR (lightweight processes) and can
be interrupted by I/O devices in the system.
.sp
.LP
An \fBoff-line\fR processor does not process any \fBLWPs.\fR Usually, an
\fBoff-line\fR processor is not interruptible by I/O devices in the system. On
some processors or under certain conditions, it might not be possible to
disable interrupts for an \fBoff-line\fR processor. Thus, the actual effect of
being \fBoff-line\fR might vary from machine to machine.
.sp
.LP
A spare processor does not process any LWPs. A spare processor can be brought
\fBon-line\fR, \fBoff-line\fR or to \fBno-intr\fR by a privileged user of the
system or by the kernel in response to changes in the system state.
.sp
.LP
A faulted processor is identified by the kernel, which monitors the behavior of
processors over time. A privileged user can set the state of a faulted
processor to be \fBon-line\fR, \fBoff-line\fR, \fBspare\fR or \fBno-intr\fR,
but must use the force option to do so.
.sp
.LP
A \fBno-intr\fR processor processes \fBLWPs\fR but is not interruptible by I/O
devices.
.sp
.LP
A processor can not be taken \fBoff-line\fR or made \fBspare\fR if there are
LWPs that are bound to the processor unless the additional \fB-F\fR option is
used. The \fB-F\fR option removes processor bindings of such LWPs before
changing the processor's operational status. On some architectures, it might
not be possible to take certain processors \fBoff-line\fR or \fBspare\fR if,
for example, the system depends on some resource provided by the processor.
.sp
.LP
At least one processor in the system must be able to process \fBLWPs.\fR At
least one processor must also be able to be interrupted. Since an
\fBoff-line\fR or \fBspare\fR processor can be interruptible, it is possible to
have an operational system with one processor \fBno-intr\fR and all other
processors \fBoff-line\fR or \fBspare\fR but with one or more accepting
interrupts.
.sp
.LP
If any of the specified processors are powered off, \fBpsradm\fR might power on
one or more processors.
.sp
.LP
Only users with the \fBPRIV_SYS_RES_CONFIG\fR privilege can use the
\fBpsradm\fR utility.

.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-F\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 6n
Force the transition to the additional specified state. Required if one or more
of the specified processors was in the faulted state. Set the specified
processors to faulted, if no other transition option was specified. Forced
transitions can only be made to \fBfaulted\fR, \fBspare\fR, or \fBoff-line\fR
states. Administrators are encouraged to use the \fB-Q\fR option for
\fBpbind\fR(1M) to find out which threads will be affected by forced a
processor state transition.
