Re: Problem with DSA 7.2 + Hp UX 10.20

This is a real long shot, but there is a but (55545) that applies (to my knowledge) only to uniprocessor HPUX 10.20 ports that causes the process priority of the cpu vp to go to -16. I heard of this happening during an archive, and all other processes were "frozen" out, but I noticed that all of my oninit processes had a priority of -16 on my SMP HP. I haven't seen "frozen" systems yet, but ran across this trying to decipher some performance problems I have had recently. Per Informix, the work around is to enable priority aging (set NOAGE to 0) and then manually set the priority of the CPU process using either the rtsched or rtprio utilities. Support <read: not me> says to run either: rtsched -S SCHED_RR -p0 -P <pid> -or- rtprio 127 -<pid> There is no fix version currently available. I just found out about this today, and will be playing with it myself to see what happens. If anybody has any input, please share...
