Restrictions and guidelines: process placement configuration

Configuring process placement on a device with only one MPU does not change the location of processes. All processes run on the CPU of the MPU.

Configuring process placement on a device with multiple MPUs places specific active processes to specific CPUs. In case of multiple CPUs, the system performs process redundancy. The number of standby processes and their CPU locations vary by function module. The system by default automatically determines the location for each active process, and process placement optimization is not required. If optimization is required, contact Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support to avoid service interruption.

Process placement applies only to MPUs.

To view the current location of an active process and its predicted new location after optimization, use the display placement reoptimize command.
