VPCLASS Name

The first item in the VPCLASS parameter provides the name of the virtual- processor class that you are describing. The VPCLASS name is not case sensitive.

You can define new virtual-processor classes for user-defined routines or DataBlade modules, or you can set values for a predefined virtual-processor class. The following virtual-processor classes are predefined by the database server and have specific functions:

adm      lio      shm
adt      msc      soc
cpu      ntk      str
jvp      opt      tli
kio      aio      pio
encrypt

For VP classes tli, shm, str, and soc, you must set NETTYPE configuration parameter's VP_class field to NET.

For example, if the VPCLASS parameter is set as:

VPCLASS shm,num=1
VPCLASS tli,num=1

then the NETTYPE parameter should be set as follows:

NETTYPE  ipcshm,,3,NET
NETTYPE  ipctli,,3,NET

For more information on the NETTYPE configuration parameter, see NETTYPE.

The following example specifies that the database server should start three virtual processors of the CPU class:

VPCLASS cpu,num=3
