RDF System Management Manual for H-Series RVUs (RDF 1.8)

REMOTECONTROLSUBVOL Parameter
The REMOTECONTROLSUBVOL parameter specifies the name of the control subvolume used
by the RDF subsystem configured for the specified primary and backup systems. There is no
default value.
PNETTXVOLUME Parameter
The PNETTXVOLUME parameter specifies the name of the volume on the particular primary
system where the RDF network master stores an audited network-synchronization file. The
specified volume must be a data volume protected by the RDF subsystem on the primary system
and be configured to the MAT.
You only use this parameter when configuring the network master. On the master you must
include this parameter within every network configuration record (including the one for the
master itself).
Setting Individual Process Parameters
Having set the global parameters, you are now ready to set the parameters that apply to individual
RDF processes: the RDFNET, monitor, extractor, receiver, purger, and updater processes.
RDFNET Process
Use SET RDFNET and ADD RDFNET commands to configure the following RDFNET parameters:
• CPUS primary-CPU : backup-CPU
• PRIORITY
• PROCESS
The CPUS parameter specifies the processors in the primary system in which the RDFNET process
will run.
The PRIORITY parameter specifies the priority at which the RDFNET process will run. You
should set the RDFNET process’ priority slightly lower than that of the RDF monitor process.
The PROCESS parameter supplies a name for the RDFNET process. You should specify a
meaningful mnemonic such as $RNET. The process name can be any unique valid process name
up to 5 characters, including the $ symbol. However, you cannot specify HP reserved process
names that are of the form $X*, $Y*, or $Z*, in which * is any alphanumeric string.
Monitor Process
Use SET MONITOR and ADD MONITOR commands to configure the following monitor
parameters:
• CPUS primary-CPU : backup-CPU
• PRIORITY
• PROCESS
The CPUS parameter in the following form specifies the primary and backup processors in which
the monitor will run:
CPUS primary-CPU:backup-CPU
If the primary processor is not available when RDF is started, the monitor executes in the specified
backup processor without benefit of a backup process. When the primary processor is brought
back online, the monitor creates its own backup process in the primary processor and then
switches control to that monitor process.
The PRIORITY parameter specifies the priority at which the monitor will run. You should set
the monitor’s priority higher than that of any application’s process.
The PROCESS parameter supplies a name for the monitor process. You should specify a
meaningful mnemonic such as $AMON or $MON1. The process name can be any unique valid
