RDF System Management Manual for H-Series RVUs (RDF 1.8)
process name up to 5 characters, including the $ symbol. However, you cannot specify NonStop
SQL/MP reserved process names that are of the form $X*, $Y*, or $Z*, in which * is any
alphanumeric string.
To configure an RDF monitor process named $MON1 to execute as a process pair in CPUs 4 and
6 of the primary system at a priority of 186, issue the following commands:
]SET MONITOR PROCESS $MON1
]SET MONITOR CPUS 4:6
]SET MONITOR PRIORITY 186
]ADD MONITOR
You can issue ADD MONITOR commands only when RDF is stopped.
Extractor Process
Use SET EXTRACTOR and ADD EXTRACTOR commands to configure the following extractor
parameters:
• ATINDEX
• CPUS primary-CPU : backup-CPU
• PRIORITY
• PROCESS
• RTDWARNING
• VOLUME
The ATINDEX parameter specifies an integer value from 0 through 15 specifying the TMF audit
trail on the primary system with which the extractor is associated. 0 specifies the MAT. 1 through
15 specify auxiliary audit trails AUX01 through AUX15. The default is 0. If you omit this
parameter, RDFCOM assumes the extractor is associated with the MAT. For information about
protecting auxiliary audit trails, see Chapter 13 (page 271).
The CPUS parameter specifies the processors in the primary system in which the extractor will
run.
The PRIORITY parameter specifies the priority at which the extractor will run. You should set
the extractor’s priority slightly lower than that of the RDF monitor process.
The PROCESS parameter supplies a name for the extractor process. You should specify a
meaningful mnemonic such as $EXT. The process name can be any unique valid process name
up to five 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.
The RTDWARNING parameter specifies the RTD warning threshold (in seconds, 0 or greater)
for the extractor. This threshold is used by the STATUS RTDWARNING command to determine
if the extractor is to be included in its display. The display includes the monitor process and only
those RDF processes (extractor or updaters) whose RTD exceeds their configured RTD warning
threshold.
The VOLUME parameter specifies a valid volume name in the current TMF configuration on
your primary system. When configuring RDF for ZLT, you must add the complete set of audit-trail
volumes to which protected data volumes are configured. You use a SET EXTRACTOR VOLUME
statement for each individual volume. You do not need to specify whether the volume is an
active volume, restore volume, or overflow volume; you merely specify the volume name. For
information about the ZLT capability, see Chapter 17 (page 309).
To configure an RDF extractor process named $EXT to run as a process pair in CPUs 5 and 3 of
the primary system, at a priority of 185, with an RTD warning threshold of 360 seconds, issue
the following commands:
]SET EXTRACTOR ATINDEX 0
]SET EXTRACTOR PROCESS $EXT
]SET EXTRACTOR CPUS 5:3
]SET EXTRACTOR PRIORITY 185
