Configuring Global Parameters
By specifying limits, you enable the PATHMON process to reserve the disk space that
it needs for configuration information. Later, when you actually define and add your
PATHMON-controlled objects (described in Section 3, Configuring Objects in a
PATHMON Environment). The PATHMON process monitors these limits and ensures
that they are not exceeded.
Specifying Node Independence
Using the NODEINDEPENDENT attribute makes unspecified node names for
processes and devices default to the node where the current PATHMON process is
running. Using this attribute in your PATHMON configuration facilitates switching your
PATHMON application to another node, either in the event of failure or as part of a
planned migration (for example, in a configuration that includes Nomadic Disk
technology). When the PATHMON process is cool started on the new node, the
unspecified node names resolve to that node, thereby migrating the associated
objects.
This command establishes node independence for objects in your PATHMON
configuration, unless a node name is explicitly specified for a given object:
= SET PATHWAY NODEINDEPENDENT ON
To take full advantage of the node-independent feature, you should invoke it by using
the SET PATHWAY NODEINDEPENDENT command prior to using the SET
PATHMON commands that specify a backup processor and dump file. For more
details on how the NODEINDEPENDENT attribute works, see Section 3, Configuring
Objects in a PATHMON Environment.
Note that setting the Pathway NODEINDEPENDENT attribute to ON overrides and
disables the node field of the CMDVOL command. For more details, see CMDVOL
Command on page 10-3.
Specifying the Owner and Security Attributes
You specify security for your PATHMON environment by setting the OWNER and
SECURITY attributes. These attributes determine who is allowed to alter the
definitions and states of PATHMON-controlled objects.
