Configuring Servers
This section describes how to define server-related objects (server classes and SERVICE
objects) and add them to your Compaq NonStop™ Pathway/XM configuration. You
define and add server classes after you have configured your global Pathway/XM
environment as described in Section 4, Configuring the Pathway/XM Environment
.
You can define your server classes either before or after you define requester-related
objects as described in Section 5, Configuring Clients and Requesters. You define
SERVICE objects after you have defined the server classes and the NODE objects.
You use the PXMCFG SET SERVER and ADD SERVER statements to define the
attributes for a server class, name the server class, and add it to the system. You use
PXMCFG SET SERVICE and ADD SERVICE to define the attributes for a group of
SERVER objects, and add it to the system.
The following topics are included:
Configuring Server Classes
The SERVER object represents a server class. A server class is a group of server
processes, all of which execute the same object program.
This subsection provides brief definitions of the required and optional attributes you can
configure for a server class, gives an example of setting these attributes, and then
describes special considerations for some of the individual attributes.
For the complete syntax of the SET SERVER statement, including descriptions of all the
attributes you can set for a SERVER object, refer to SET SERVER on page 10-47. For
the syntax of the ADD SERVER statement, refer to ADD SERVER
on page 10-10.
Required and Optional Attributes
When you configure any server class, you must specify the following attributes:
