cpumap startup script

[Roger Baptiste]

hi,

On V2600 system, the cpumap startup script takes a long time to complete.

<Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S900cpumap start":>>

Apparently this cstm command in the script takes up the time :
echo "selclass qualifier cpu\ninfo\nwait\ninfolog\n$cmd done\nexit\nOK\n" | /usr/sbin/cstm | /usr/bin/grep -v -e "Log creation time:" -
e "Updating Map" | /usr/bin/sed "/(Wait).*disabled/,/^$/d" > $TOMBSTONE_DIR/cpumap ;


I understand this is useful for tombstones info, during crashes. But,for normally scheduled reboots , is it advisable to disable this (say when we reboot the system twice for patches , kernel etc).?
Or is there any smart way to run this in the background even as it does the boot up process.

Has anybody around tweaked this fella? It seems faster on N servers.

thanks

Hi

I Believe that it is loaded by the HAO
HAT-CLIENT software. The program copies processor information to the
/var/tombstones/cpumap file at reboot.

I understand that the /var/tombstones/cpumap file is no longer used and can be disabled .

The easiest solution is edit the
/etc/rc.config.d/cpumap file and CPUMAP=0.
