Determining the number of processors an iHub System uses
When the PMD starts the first encycsrvr process on a machine, the PMD determines the number of processors to which BIRT iHub is bound and stores the list of bound processors.
If you change the processor binding, BIRT iHub does not recognize the changes until you shut down all encycsrvr processes on the machine and restart one of the encycsrvr processes.
For example, a cluster that has a maximum licensed CPU limit of nine processors consists of two nodes, machine A and machine B.
The machines have the following configuration:
Machine A has four processors with no processor binding. All the processors can run Actuate processes. BIRT iHub manages an Encyclopedia volume.
Machine B has eight processors with BIRT iHub bound to five processors. There is no encycsrvr process running on the machine, only the PMD.
The cluster counts four processors, the processors on machine A. If you start an encycsrvr process on machine B, BIRT iHub on machine A counts the five bound processors on the machine and increases the cluster processor count to nine, four on machine A and five on machine B.
If you bind the PMD on machine B to six processors, the change has no effect until you shut down all the running encycsrvr processes on machine B and restart an encycsrvr process on machine B.
After you stop the encycsrvr processes and restart an encycsrvr process on machine B, BIRT iHub System detects that the number of processors in the cluster is ten, which is greater than the maximum number of nine licensed processors. When the number of CPUs exceeds the number of CPUs your license permits, BIRT iHub does not start and returns an error message to Configuration Console.
