Use the SERVANT record to enable or disable the Servant Facility.
SERVANT {ON | OFF} [prefix [time [numfree [numactive]]]]
SERVANT is defined in the PRODUCT CONFIG file.
Enables the Servant Facility. You must create the COMMON 194 minidisk and access it using the ACCESS record in the PRODUCT CONFIG file when you are enabling the Servant Facility.
Disables the Servant Facility. All servant machines that are not attached to a process are deleted. Those that are attached to a process will be deleted when the process ends.
Specifies the four‑character prefix for the names of the servant user IDs. The default is VMX$. This prefix must be unique; no other user IDs on the system can start with this prefix.
Specifies the number of seconds a process will wait for a servant to connect before timing out. If a servant is started and does not connect to CA VM:Director within this amount of time, the process requesting the servant terminates. The minimum number of seconds is 0, the maximum is 99999999. The default is 50 seconds.
Specifies the number of servants to keep free. A free servant is one that has been started and has connected to CA VM:Director but is not being used by a process. The minimum is 0, the maximum is 25. The default is 2. If you reduce the number of free servants, the servants will not be logged off until the next time they are detached from a process, whether currently active or not.
Specifies the maximum number of servants that can be active at any time. This number can be any positive integer larger than numfree. The default is 25. If you reduce the maximum number of servants, the servants will not be logged off until the next time they are detached from a process, whether currently active or not.
When the Servant Facility is enabled, CA VM:Director uses worker machines to aid in minidisk and SFS management. You must enable the servant facility if you are managing SFS with CA VM:Director. You can enable or disable the Servant Facility dynamically by using the CONFIG PRODUCT command to edit the SERVANT record. All changes take effect immediately.
To display the status of the Servant Facility, use the QUERY SERVANT command.
Important! Do not use the ASSIGN command with servant user IDs. The directory manager for the CA VM:Director service virtual machine and the servant virtual machines must be the same.
Note: For more information about using and setting up the Servant Facility, see the ACCESS Record in this document and the Administration Guide.
