Process placement affinities

You can configure the following settings for a process placement policy to optimize process placement:

• affinity location-set—Location affinity, the preference for the process to run on a specific node.

• affinity location-type—Location type affinity, the preference for the process to run on a particular type of node. For more information about node types, see "Configuring a location type affinity."

• affinity program—Process affinity, the preference for the process to run on the same node as a particular process.

• affinity self—Self affinity, the preference for one instance of the process to run on the same node as any other instance of the process.

Affinities include positive affinities (attract) and negative affinities (repulse), all represented by integers in the range of 1 to 100000.

• The higher the attract value, the stronger the preference.

• The higher the repulse value, the weaker the preference.
