VMS Help Sys Parameters, NPAGERAD *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX) |
(Alpha only) NPAGERAD specifies the total number of bytes of nonpaged pool that will be allocated for Resource Affinity Domains (RADs) other than the base RAD. For platforms that have no RADs, NPAGERAD is ignored. Notice that NPAGEDYN specifies the total amount of nonpaged pool for all RADs. Also notice that the OpenVMS system might round the specified values higher to an even number of pages for each RAD, which prevents the base RAD from having too little nonpaged pool. For example, if the hardware is an AlphaServer GS160 with 4 RADs: NPAGEDYN = 6291456 bytes NPAGERAD = 2097152 bytes In this case, the OpenVMS system allocates a total of approximately 6,291,456 bytes of nonpaged pool. Of this amount, the system divides 2,097,152 bytes among the the RADs that are not the base RAD. The system then assigns the remaining 4,194,304 bytes to the base RAD. NPAGERAD has the GEN attribute.
