vtServer Configuration Advice

SYSGEN parameter SMP_SANITY_CNT


When running OpenVMS in an emulator and the emulated server is configured with more
than one CPU it is recommened to increase the value of the system parameter SMP_SANITY_CNT
to at least 3000.

Current value for SMP_SANITY_CNT: 300
Advised value for SMP_SANITY_CNT: 3000


When running on multiprocessor configurations, OpenVMS performs checks to ensure that all
processors are functioning and that there are no synchronization deadlocks. If abnormal
conditions are detected, the system will crash with a CPUSANITY or CPUSPINWAIT.
