Other OSM Server Processes
Other OSM Server Processes
This section describes the other OSM server processes that are started by the OSM 
persistent processes described in the preceding section. For each of these processes, 
the process name is dynamically assigned.
$SYSTEM.SYSnn.RALPRVD and $SYSTEM.SYSnn.RALPRVNP
Launched by $ZCMOM, these Resource Access Layer Providers are responsible for: 
•
Interacting with SP and subsystems such as Storage, SLSA, etc., to gather 
attributes and states for system resources
•
Executing all actions on OSM objects
•
Triggering Incident Analysis to generate and clear alarms
RALPRVD is used for initial discovery, initial incident analysis, event processing and all 
action execution that require a super-group user.
RALPRVNP is used for action executions that do not require a super-group 
permission.
The maximum number that can run simultaneously is 48:
•
Maximum of eight RALPRVD processes for event processing
•
Maximum of eight RALPRVD processes for refresh or reanalyze action processing
•
Maximum of eight RALPRVD processes for short-term super-group action 
processing (Start/Stop disk, etc.)
•
Maximum of eight RALPRVD processes for long-term super-group action 
processing (Firmware Update, Validate Checksum, etc.)
•
Maximum of eight RALPRVNP processes for short-term non-super-group action 
processing (Responsive Test, etc.)
•
Maximum of eight RALPRVNP processes for long-term non-super-group action 
processing (None at this time)
