RE: NUMCPUVPS entry in onconfig.gic

As per Informix documentation, on a 2 processor system, you may do a benchmark to determine whether NUMCPUVPS should be 1 or 2. "The number of CPU vps should match the number of physical CPUs on the server if MULTIPROCESSOR is set to "Y" and process affinitization is not used. If process affinitization is active, this field should match AFF_NPROCS." Hope this helps.

What should be the NUMCPUVPS entry in this case?. Informix recommends this value to be one less than the total no of processors. When we are running on a single processor machine, the entry is 1 in ONCONFIG.GIC. NUMCPUVPS 1 # Number of user (cpu) vps If the value still remains 1 ( 2 minus 1 ), when it is a two processor machine , what difference it does it make? What should be the value? Thanks in advance Sampath
