Table 3-3. SCF Object States (page 2 of 2)

State	Substate	Explanation
SERVICING	SPECIAL	The object is being serviced or used by a
		privileged process and is inaccessible to user
		processes.
	TEST	The object is reserved for exclusive testing.
STARTED		The object is logically accessible to user
		processes.
STARTING		The object is being initialized and is in transition to
		the STARTED state.
STOPPED	CONFIG-ERROR	The object is configured improperly.
	DOWN	The object is no longer logically accessible to user
		processes.
	HARDDOWN	The object is in the hard-down state or is physically
		inaccessible due to a hardware error.
	INACCESSIBLE	The object is inaccessible to user processes.
	PREMATURE-	The backup input/output (I/O) process was asked
	TAKEOVER	to take over for the primary I/O process before it
		had the proper information.
	RESOURCE-	The input/output (I/O) process could not obtain a
	UNAVAILABLE	necessary resource.
	UNKNOWN-	The input/output (I/O) process is down for an
	REASON	unknown reason.
STOPPING		The object is in transition to the STOPPED state.
		No new links are allowed to or from the object.
		Existing links are in the process of being deleted.
SUSPENDED		The flow of information to and from the object is
		restricted. (It is typically prevented.) A subsystem
		must clearly distinguish between the type of
		information that is allowed to flow in the
		SUSPENDED state and that which normally flows
		in the STARTED or STOPPED state. In the
		SUSPENDED state, the object must complete any
		outstanding work defined by the subsystem.
SUSPENDING		The object is in transition to the SUSPENDED
		state. The subsystem must clearly define the
		nature of the restrictions that this state imposes on
		its objects.
UNKNOWN		The object’s state cannot be determined because
		the object is inaccessible.
