Software Reassignment Using Galaxy Services  



Perhaps the best method for managing resource assignment is to use the Galaxy APIs to write your own resource management routines. This allows you to base your decisions for resource management on your own criteria and application environment. The same push-model restriction described in Intermodal Reassignment still exists, however, so your routines need to be Galaxy aware, possibly using shared memory to coordinate their operations.

$CPU_TRANSITION[W] is an OpenVMS system service available to manage CPUs. $CPU_TRANSITION[W] changes the current processing state of a CPU in the configure set of the current system or an unassigned CPU in an OpenVMS Galaxy configuration.
