Allocating Resources
Allocating Resources
Resource allocation allows you to plan how you want to distribute the workload on your
system. The following attributes determine how resources are allocated in an installation
and are described in the following subsections:
Location of APLMGR MIB File on this page (Considerations associated with each
attribute are described in this subsection)
Location of Process Code Files on page 3-31
Primary and Backup Processors for Initiator and Responder Processes on page 3-32
Location of Process Swap Volume on page 3-32
Location of APLMGR MIB File
The MIB attribute of the SUBSYS object provides the APLMGR process with the
location—that is, the volume name, subvolume name, and filename—of the
management information base (MIB) file. This is the file in which the APLMGR
process stores all its configuration information. If you do not specify the MIB attribute,
the attribute defaults to the file named ZOSADB in the APLMGR volume and
subvolume. If the attribute is specified but the name is not a fully qualified Guardian
filename, the filename defaults to the current volume and subvolume defaults for the
SCF session (as displayed by the ENVIRONMENT command).
At your installation, you might create the MIB files at some other location; if so, you
must use the ALTER SUBSYS command to change the MIB attribute, naming the
volume, subvolume, and file in which you have placed the MIB file. For example, you
could issue the following command to specify use of the file ZOSADB in the subvolume
MANAGER on the volume $FTAM:
ALTER SUBSYS $AMGR, MIB $FTAM.MANAGER.ZOSADB
