Using the num Option

The num option sets the number of virtual processors of the specified class that the database server should start during initialization.

On a single-processor computer, allocate only one CPU virtual processor. On a multiprocessor computer, do not allocate more CPU and user-defined virtual processors, combined, than there are CPUs on the computer.

Use the following syntax to specify the number of virtual processors:

num=num_VPs

Specifying the Number of CPU VPs

For example, the following parameter specifies that the database server should start four virtual processors for the cpu class:

VPCLASS cpu,num=4

At a later time, you can use the onmode -p command to add virtual processors for the class.
