8.5.4.23 Partition Attribute Reconnection

When no RCI package is configured on a partition, such a partition can be launched several times without any problem. When one or more RCI packages are configured on a partition, such a partition cannot be launched more than once. If this partition were to be launched repeatedly, it would not be possible to decide which partition instance should execute a remote procedure call.

When a partition crashes or is stopped, one may want to restart this partition and possibly restore its state - with Shared_Passive packages, for instance. In such a situation, the partition is already known to other partitions and possibly marked as a dead partition. Several policies can be selected:

     
     RECONNECTION_LITERAL ::= Reject_On_Restart  |
                               Fail_Until_Restart |
                               Block_Until_Restart
     
     REPRESENTATION_CLAUSE ::=
        for PARTITION_IDENTIFIER'Reconnection use RECONNECTION_LITERAL;
