Configure the Remote Database Facility (RDF)
•
Performance-critical applications that optimize the physical location of their data
might need to specify the PHYSVOL option when creating data files, instead of
relying on the SMF file-placement algorithm.
•
NonStop SQL/MP 3.x must be up and running before you start SMF.
To ensure system configuration integrity, always:
1. Save the system configuration after SMF configuration changes are made.
2. Reload the system from the current system configuration file or the latest version
with SMF changes.
See the softdoc T8472ACK or later for SMF configuration and interoperability
considerations.
Configure the Remote Database Facility (RDF)
The AUDITTRAILBUFFER parameter is a modifier to DP2, which improves the
performance of RDF. Ensure that an appropriate value is specified for the
AUDITTRAILBUFFER modifier for the master audit-trail disk process. The
AUDITTRAILBUFFER parameter allows you to specify how many megabytes of buffer
space to allocate for the audit-trail buffers. See the SCF Reference Manual for the
Storage Subsystem for information on configuring the buffer size and check the DP2
softdoc for more information for H06.09.
Configure the WAN Manager
Before updating the SWAN or SWAN 2 firmware (Appendix C, Updating SWAN
Concentrator CLIP Firmware), first configure the WAN Manager.
Caution. To maintain data integrity, do not place these items on a virtual disk process (VDP):
•
SWAP files
•
TMF audit data
•
DSM/SCM files
