| process | User application process. |
| name | Name of the user application process. Range 1-31. |
| executable | Executable. |
| exe | Name of the executable relative to /usr/local/cfg. |
| start | Startup behavior. |
| auto | Create a daemon process and start it immediately |
| on-demand | Create a run-to-completion process and use \"start process\. |
| node | Node in stack in which to create the process. |
| node | Primary node, backup node, or both (default is primary). |
| vr | Virtual router in which to start the process. |
| vr-name | Virtual router name (Default is VR-Mgmt). |
| description | Description. |
| arg1-9 | Variable value. |
VR-Mgmt is the default VR used if not specified.
If no selection is made, the process runs on-demand.
If no node is selected, the default is the primary node.
The executable must be uploaded to /usr/local/cfg using the normal mechanisms (for example, TFTP).
Fields are provided by the user and passed directly into an epmrc entry. Not all epmrc fields are available.
This command adds C executable processes. To add a Python module, use the create process python-module command.
A process must first exist on the primary node if you are creating it only on the backup node, If a process already exists on the primary node, you cannot create it on both the primary and secondary node. Also, if the backup node is down, a new process cannot be created on it.
