VMS Help Sys Parameters, IO_PRCPU_BITMAP *Conan The Librarian |
(Alpha and Integrity servers) This parameter is a bitmap
representing up to 1024 CPUs. Each bit set in this bitmap
indicates that the corresponding CPU is available for use as a
Fast Path preferred CPU.
IO_PRCPU_BITMAP defaults to all bits set. (CPU 0 through CPU 1023
are all enabled for Fast Path port assignment.)
You might want to disable the primary CPU from serving as a
preferred CPU by leaving its bit clear in IO_PRCPU_BITMAP, which
reserves the primary CPU for non-Fast Path IO operations to use.
To change the value of IO_PRCPU_BITMAP in SYSBOOT or SYSGEN,
specify a list of individual bits or contiguous groups of bits.
For example:
SYSGEN> SET IO_PRCPU_BITMAP 0,5,17-21
This command sets bits 0, 5, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21 in the bitmap
and clears all other bits.
Changing the value of IO_PRCPU_BITMAP causes the FASTPATH_SERVER
process to run the automatic assignment algorithm that spreads
Fast Path ports evenly among the new set of usable CPUs.
For additional information, see FAST_PATH and FAST_PATH_PORTS.
This parameter replaces IO_PREFER_CPU.
