What are three states a device can have when connected to an AIX system?
- A . Available
B. Defined
C. Stopped
D. Blocked
E. Running
F. Suspended
Suggested Answer: A,B,C
Explanation:
Devices that are connected to the system can be in one of four states.
Devices that are connected to the system can be in one of the following states:
Item
Description
Undefined
The device is unknown to the system.
Defined
Specific information about the device is recorded in the customized database, but it is unavailable to the system.
Available
A defined device is coupled to the operating system, or the defined device is configured.
Stopped
The device is unavailable but remains known by its device driver.
If a tty device and a printer alternately use the same tty connector, both a tty device and a printer are defined on the same parent and port in the device configuration database. Only one of these devices can be configured at a time. When the tty connector is configured, the printer specific setup information is retained until it is configured again. The device is not removed; it is in the defined state. Maintaining adevice in defined state retains customized information for a device that is not currently in use, either before it is first made available or while it is temporarily removed from the system.
If a device driver exists for a device, the device can be made available through the device driver.
