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
