Process placement

(In standalone mode.) The execution of process placement policies varies by the location of active processes.

• An active process running only on the active MPU does not support placement optimization. If you configure a process placement policy for the process, the system displays a configuration failure message. When such an active process fails, the system automatically restarts the process. The standby processes are used for active/standby switchover and ISSU.

• Some active processes can run on either the active or standby MPU. When such an active process fails, the system uses a placement policy to select a new active process among standby processes.

(In IRF mode.) The execution of process placement policies varies by the location of active processes.

• An active process running only on the global active MPU does not support placement optimization. If you configure a process placement policy for the process, the system displays a configuration failure message. When such an active process fails, the system automatically restarts the process. The standby processes are used for active/standby switchover and ISSU.

• Some active processes can run on either the global active or standby MPU. When such an active process fails, the system uses a placement policy to select a new active process among standby processes.
