CPUWEIGHT
CPUWEIGHT=( cpu-number , weight )
specifies and changes the relative weight allocated to a central processing unit
(CPU), thereby determining the availability of a CPU; this, in turn, affects where
dynamic processes are created.
cpu-number
specifies the number of a CPU to which to assign a weight. You can specify a
number from 0 through to the highest existing CPU number in your system
(the highest possible value is 15).
weight
specifies the relative availability of a CPU.
You can specify a value from 0 through 100. 0 means that the specified CPU is
unavailable; 100 represents maximum availability. The default CPU weight is
100 if you do not specify a particular CPU weight by using the PARAM
CPUWEIGHT command.
Considerations
The value you specify using the PARAM PROCESSWEIGHT command is related
to the CPU resources that a dynamic process can use.
You can use the PARAM CPUWEIGHT command during or after NonStop
NET/MASTER MS startup.
During NonStop NET/MASTER MS startup:
You enter the command in a configuration file.
If you use this command to explicitly configure the availability of all CPUs,
you must configure at least one existing CPU with a value greater than 0 for
NonStop NET/MASTER MS to be able to start.
If you do not use this command to explicitly configure the availability of all
CPUs, the NonStop NET/MASTER MS control process (NCP) determines the
CPUs that exist, assumes that all are available for use by NonStop
NET/MASTER MS, and configures them for maximum availability.
The order in which you define available CPUs by using the PARAM
CPUWEIGHT operand is not significant. It does not determine the order
NonStop NET/MASTER MS uses to choose a CPU when creating a dynamic
process.
