Performance optimization

CHARON takes 100% of host CPU even in case of idle state of guest OpenVMS operating system. To get rid of such resources consumption there is a specific option provided by CHARON Guest Utilities - "idle" mode.


...

set <adapter name> container[<unit name>] = ".vtape" removable[<unit name>] = true


Warning
  • It is mandatory to set the "removable" parameter to "true"
  • The container name must either be ".vtape" (and nothing else) or a valid file name (Example: "/charon/tapes/mytape.vtape") with an existing folder
  • The container name length must not be more than 255 characters

Example:

set PKA container[600] = ".vtape" removable[600] = true
