XOS: What is the recommended number of processes when XOS is installed as a multi-threaded SEEP?

The recommended number of processes for multi-threaded XOS is a minimum of two processes per CPU and a maximum of 6 per CPU.

XOS_SAFECOM_INSTALL_MULTI can be used for installing XOS as a multi-threaded SEEP.

Syntax:
XOS_SAFECOM_INSTALL_MULTI {<CPUs>} [<MIN> [<MAX> ]]

Where:

<CPUs>                 A comma-separated list of CPUs for the multi-threaded server to run in. You can specify the asterisk ( * ) for all CPUs.
<MIN>                   The number of XOS processes to start initially (defaults to number of CPUs on system).
<MAX>                  The most XOS processes that can be running (defaults to <MIN>).
SWAP:<diskname>  Refers to the swap disk to be used for the XOS processes.

Example installing a multi-threaded XOS SEEP for a four CPU system:
  1. Logon as SUPER.SUPER
  2. Load the XOS macros: 
RUN $<vol>.XYGATEOS.XOS INSTALL
  1. Run the XOS_SAFECOM_INSTALL_MULTI macro to install a multi-threaded XOS SEEP:
         XOS_SAFECOM_INSTALL_MULTI * 8 24  

This example would start a minimum of 8 XOS processes (2 per CPU) and a maximum of 24 (6 per CPU)

*NOTE: If changed while the SEEP is enabled, it will need to be re-enabled with XOS_SAFECOM_ENABLE
