3. Create a CONFIG file that includes or omits an application process definition for
each application process, as appropriate.
4. Start NonStop NET/MASTER MS.
The changes take effect after the NonStop NET/MASTER MS startup phase has
finished. See Section 2, “Starting NonStop NET/MASTER MS,” for startup
instructions.
Configuration Alternatives in Extended Basic Mode
The definition of extended basic mode is broad. Therefore, there are many
configuration alternatives. These include:
Two static NC processes
In this configuration, one static NC process supports the EM function. Virtual
users and their workloads are spread among the NC processes. Interactive user
logons (20 maximum) are allocated to the NC processes in a circular fashion. Each
NC process supports one INMC link. Additional interactive user logons and
INMC links are supported by the existing NC processes. This additional workload
is likely to cause performance degradation.
One static and one dynamic NC process
In this configuration, the static NC process supports the EM function. Virtual
users and their workloads are spread among the NC processes. Interactive user
logons (20 maximum) are allocated to the NC processes in a circular fashion. Each
NC process supports one INMC link. Additional interactive user logons and
INMC links are supported by additional dynamic NC processes.
One static NC, IS, and MS process, and one dynamic IS and MS process.
In this configuration, the NC process supports the EM function. Virtual users and
their workload are supported by the NC process. The NC, static IS, and dynamic
IS processes each support one INMC link. Interactive user logons (30 maximum)
are allocated to the NC, static MS, and dynamic MS processes in a circular fashion.
Each additional INMC link is supported by an additional dynamic IS process.
Each additional group of 10 interactive user logons is supported by an additional
dynamic MS process.
One static NC, EM, BK, IS, and MS process, and one dynamic BK, IS, and MS
process.
In this configuration, either the EM or NC process supports the EM function (it is
not possible to predict which process will be assigned the EM function at NonStop
NET/MASTER MS startup). Virtual users and their workload are spread among
the BK and NC processes. The NC, static IS, and dynamic IS processes each
support one INMC link. Interactive user logons (30 maximum) are allocated to the
NC, static MS, and dynamic MS processes in a circular fashion. Each additional
INMC link is supported by an additional dynamic IS process. Each additional
group of 10 interactive user logons is supported by an additional dynamic MS
process.
