Re: Number of dbaccess/OS process per os session

Posted By: Art Kagel

In Response To: Re: Number of dbaccess/OS process per os session (jak aka)

You ask "How do I make connection time faster...?" Well, you would adjust
your NETTYPE settings, which is why I asked what settings you are using. If
you post your NETTYPE settings, I'll try to help.

Also, do you REALLY have 96 processors? Or do you rather have 4x4 core
Niagra II processors with 8 hardware threads each? You did not say what
kind of hardware you were running on. It is critical to getting good advice
that you tell us everything you know!

If that's it, then you actually only have 16 CPU cores and you should
configure the ONCONFIG file assuming that and IB you should disable the
hardware threads. They interfere with the way the oninit processes work and
will SLOW the engine down significantly. If you disable the threads you can
configure up to 48 CPU VPs (3 per core) but I'd recommend using only 2 on
these processors, they are barely fast enough to run 3 CPU VPS each. Also
if you decide to keep the hardware threads running you should use the aff
option to the VPCLASS cpu setting to pin the CPU VPs to the first hardware
thread in each processor (ie 0, 8, 16, 24, 32, etc.). VPs should never be
run on multiple hardware threads in the same CPU core.
