Object Hierarchy
For the required syntax for each attribute name and value valid for NonStop agent
objects, see the individual commands in
Section 5, SCF Commands for the SNMP
Agent .
Object Hierarchy
Most subsystems are structured hierarchically, with a group of objects of one type
logically subordinate to an object of another type. For example, a number of trap
destinations (TRAPDEST objects) can be configured to receive traps from a single
NonStop agent process (PROCESS object).
Object States
An object is always in one of several operational states, such as DEFINED, STARTED,
or STOPPED. The sequence of states an object goes through varies from object to
object and from subsystem to subsystem. The state of an object at a given time is
important. Certain commands have no effect on an object when it is in one state but do
affect the object when it is in another state.

The STARTING state is reported in event messages for the PROCESS object when the NonStop agent is
performing initialization tasks, but is never displayed in response to an SCF STATUS command.
