run-options
specifies select TACL RUN command options (described in the Tandem Advanced
Command Language (TACL) Reference Manual), separated by commas. The
following options are of particular importance for this command:
CPU
cpu
specifies the number of the central processing unit (CPU) in which the primary
process of the NCP is to execute.
To run the NCP as a process pair, specify different CPUs for the primary and
backup processes. To run the NCP without a backup process, specify the
same CPUs for the primary and backup processes.
If you specify a nonexistent primary CPU, then the NCP program cannot be
run and NonStop NET/MASTER MS does not start.
Note In a production environment, it is recommended that you always run the NCP with a backup process. In a
test or development environment, where process space or memory resources may be scarce, it may be
advisable to run the NCP without a backup process.
NAME [ $
pxxx
]
specifies the name of the NCP for the NonStop NET/MASTER MS system.
You must specify NAME. If you then explicitly provide the process name, the
NCP is started with the name you specify: otherwise, the NCP is started with
a name provided by the operating system, starting with X, Y, or Z.
To use the default startup configuration, specify $ZNNM.
p
specifies the process character. Specify the process character as a letter in
the range A through Z. To use the default startup configuration, specify a
process character of Z.
NonStop NET/MASTER MS uses the process character to both set and
identify the names of other NonStop NET/MASTER MS processes and the
following system files:
$
isv-vol
.ZNNMDATA.
p
CEXCCF
$
isv-vol
.ZNNMDATA.
p
LGFILE1
$
isv-vol
.ZNNMDATA.
p
MAPFILE
$
isv-vol
.ZNNMDATA.
p
UACAUTH
$
isv-vol
.ZNNMDATA.
p
UACUTIL
$
isv-vol
.ZNNMDATA.
p
UMSFILE
Use of the process character allows NonStop NET/MASTER MS processes
and system files belonging to the same NonStop NET/MASTER MS
system to be identified and grouped together.
