PROCESSCPU
PROCESSCPU=( cpu1 , cpu2 )
specifies the preferred central processing units (CPUs) for creating and executing a
process. You must supply both CPU values. This operand is a variation of the
CPU option of the TACL RUN command—a variation in the sense that you can
supply a first-preference and second-preference CPU, not just a single CPU.
cpu1 , cpu2
specify the CPU number of the first- and second-preference CPUs for creating
a process. You can specify a number from 0 through to the highest existing
CPU number in your system (the highest possible value is 15). For all process
types, except for the NCP (refer to the NonStop NET/MASTER MS System
Management Guide) and GMM processes (see Consideration), the CPU number
of the first preference must be different from the CPU number of the second
preference.
Consideration
The following table summarizes the process types for which the PROCESSCPU
operand is applicable:
Operand Use Comment
CIPPROCESS O For a CIP, the first CPU is the first preference for creating and
executing the process and the second CPU is the second
preference.
CMDPROCESS O For a command server process, the first CPU is the first
preference for creating and executing the process and the
second CPU is the second preference.
DSNMPROCESS O For a DSNM process, the first CPU is the first preference for
creating and executing the process and the second CPU is the
second preference.
DYNAMICPROCESS N.A. N.A.
GMMPROCESS O For a GMM process, the first number specifies the primary
CPU (PCPU), and the second number specifies the backup
CPU (BCPU). Additionally:
If the PCPU is unavailable, NonStop NET/MASTER MS
does not start.
If the PCPU is available and the BCPU is identical, the
process runs without a backup process, as a single
process. No attempt is made to start a backup process.
If the PCPU is available and the BCPU is different and
available, the process runs as a process pair.
If the PCPU is available and the BCPU is different and
unavailable (either the BCPU does not exist or it is
temporarily down), the primary process is started but not
the backup process. If the BCPU is temporarily down,
the backup process is created when the BCPU becomes
available.
