cpu (cpu-wt)
is the weight defined for the CPU. PATHMON stores the CPU weights in the
PATHCTL file. It is used to create a new process.
The processes are created on a CPU such that the percentage of processes
running on a CPU to the total number of processes on all CPUs is almost equal
to the defined weights. The CPU weight must be in the range of 1 through 100.
The sum of all CPU weights must be 100.
If you omit this attribute, the PATHMON process uses all available CPUs on the
system as primary and backup processor pairs according to an internally defined
algorithm, and sends the BACKUPCPU param.
Only Guardian server processes can be run as NonStop processes. Therefore, for
Guardian server processes only, the PATHMON process passes to the server
process a PARAM message containing BACKUPCPU filled in with a 3-byte ASCII
representation of the processor number of the backup processor. Use the
GETBACKUPCPU procedure to retrieve the backup processor number from the
PARAM message. (For more information on the GETBACKUPCPU procedure,
see the COBOL Reference Manual.) The server process can then use the backup
processor as an alternate processor.
When this attribute is included as part of the PROCESS attribute specification, the
PATHMON process uses the CPUs specified for the server process. The CPUs
specified for the server process do not need to match the CPUs specified for the
server class.
This attribute is valid for Guardian and OSS server processes.
CREATEDELAY number { HRS | MINS | SECS | CSECS }
specifies the maximum amount of time a link manager (that is, a TCP, LINKMON
process, or ACS subsystem processes) waits to use an established link to a server
class before requesting a new link from the PATHMON process that controls the
server class.
CREATEDELAY must be a value within one of these ranges:
0 through 16,383 CSECS
0 through 16,383 SECS
0 through 1092 MINS
0 through 18 HRS
If you omit this attribute, the default value is one MIN.
If the link manager has no established links or it calculates that a static link is
available, the link manager immediately requests a link without waiting for
CREATEDELAY to expire. If an established or newly created link becomes
Note. Backup CPU cannot be specified when using CPU weights.
