affinity location-set

Use affinity location-set to set the affinity of a process to a set of CPUs.

Use undo affinity location-set to remove the affinity setting for the specified CPUs for a process.

Syntax

affinity location-set { slot slot-number }&<1-5> { attract strength | default | none | repulse strength }

undo affinity location-set { slot slot-number }&<1-5>

Default

Parameters

slot slot-number: Specifies an IRF member device by its member ID.

&<1-5>: Indicates that you can specify a maximum of five CPUs.

attract strength: Sets a positive affinity in the range of 1 to 100000. The higher the value, the stronger the preference for the process to run on the specified CPUs.

default: Sets the affinity to the default, a positive affinity of 200.

none: Sets the affinity to 0, which means the active process has no preference for any location and the system determines its location.

repulse strength: Sets a negative affinity in the range of 1 to 100000. The higher the value, the weaker the preference for the process to run on the specified CPUs.

Examples

# Set a positive affinity of 500 to the specified slot for the staticroute process.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] placement program staticroute

[Sysname-program-staticroute] affinity location-set slot 1 attract 500

affinity location-type

Use affinity location-type to set the affinity of a process to a location type.

Use undo affinity location-type to remove the affinity setting for the specified location type for a process.

Syntax

affinity location-type { current | paired | primary } { attract strength | default | none | repulse strength }

undo affinity location-type { current | paired | primary }

Default

No location type affinity is set for any process.

Parameters

current: Specifies the affinity to the current location of the active process. You can use the display placement program command to view the current location of an active process.

paired: Specifies the affinity to the locations of all standby processes.

primary: Specifies the affinity to the master device.

attract strength: Sets a positive affinity in the range of 1 to 100000. The higher the value, the stronger the preference of the process to run on the specified location type.

default: Sets the affinity to the default, a positive affinity of 200.

none: Sets the affinity to 0, which means the active process does not have any preference for any location type and the system determines its location.

repulse strength: Sets a negative affinity in the range of 1 to 100000. The higher the value, the weaker the preference for the process to run on the specified location type.

Examples

# Set a positive affinity of 500 to the current location for the staticroute process.

Parameters

program-name: Specifies the name of a process running on the device. The process name is a case-insensitive string of 1 to 15 characters. You can use the display placement program all command to view information about all processes running on the device.

default: Sets the affinity to the default, a positive affinity of 200.

none: Sets the affinity to 0, which means the active process has no preference for any other process and the system determines its location.

repulse strength: Sets a negative affinity in the range of 1 to 100000. The higher the value, the weaker the preference for the current process to run on the same location as the specified process.

Examples

# Set a negative affinity of 200 for the staticroute process to run on the same location as the syslog process.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] placement program staticroute

[Sysname-program-staticroute] affinity program syslog repulse 200

Parameters

attract strength: Specifies a positive affinity in the range of 1 to 100000. The higher the value, the stronger the preference for all the instances of the current process to run on the same location.

default: Sets the affinity to the default, a positive affinity of 200.

none: Sets the affinity to 0, which means the instances of the process have no preference to run on the same location and the system determines their locations.

repulse strength: Sets a negative affinity in the range of 1 to 100000. The higher the value, the weaker the preference for all the instances of the current process to run on the same location.

Usage guidelines

This command sets the preference for a process to run all its instances on the same location or different locations. If the process has only one instance, the command does not take effect.

The self affinity set in the placement process view of a process or any of its instances takes effect on all the instances of the process. If you execute this command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.

To view the instances of a process, use the display placement program all command.

Examples

# Set a negative self affinity of 200 for the staticroute process.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] placement program staticroute

[Sysname-program-staticroute] affinity self repulse 200

Parameters

program-name: Specifies a process name, a case-insensitive string of 1 to 15 characters.

instance instance-name: Specifies the name of an instance of the specified process. The instance name is a case-insensitive string of 1 to 31 characters. If you do not specify this option, this command enters process placement policy view and the settings in process placement policy view take effect on all instances. Whether a process has multiple instances depends on the system software.

default: Configures the default placement policy for all processes.

Usage guidelines

You configure a process placement policy to optimize the distribution of processes in your system for optimal distribution of CPU and memory resources.

For an instance of a process, the priorities of the settings in placement policy view of an instance, placement policy view of a process, and the default placement policy view are in descending order. For a process, the settings in placement policy view of the process take precedence over the settings in the default placement policy view.

A process placement policy contains the affinity location-type, affinity location-set, affinity program, and affinity self commands. The commands describe the preferences of the process for a specific location.

You can configure all the affinity commands in the placement policy for a process. Based on the placement policy and hardware resources, the system automatically determines the location for running the active process. Before you apply the policy, you can use the display placement reoptimize command to view the predicted location for the process. When a process switchover occurs, the process on the predicted location is selected as the active process.

Examples

# Enter the placement process view of the staticroute process.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] placement program staticroute

[Sysname-program-staticroute]

# Enter the default placement process view.

<Sysname> system-view

Usage guidelines

CAUTION: To avoid neighbor flapping of related protocols, make sure HA features such as NSR or GR are configured for the processes and are stable before optimizing process placement.

‌

After you execute this command, the system bases its placement decisions on the new process placement policies, hardware resources, and locations and states of active processes. The process on the new location is selected as the active process. If the new location for an active process is different from its current location, a process switchover is triggered. The system changes the state of the original active process to standby and the state of the standby process on the new location to active. You can use the display placement program command to view the new location of the active process.

To keep the system stable, do not perform any tasks that require process restart when you execute this command.

Examples

# Reoptimize process placement.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] placement reoptimize

Predicted changes to the placement

Program                           Current location       New location
