Starting and Stopping Virtual Processors

When you start the oninit process to start the database server, oninit starts the number and types of virtual processors that you have specified directly and indirectly. You configure virtual processors primarily through ONCONFIG parameters and, for network virtual processors, through parameters in the sqlhosts file. For descriptions of the virtual-processor classes, refer to Virtual-Processor Classes.

The database server allows you to start a maximum of 1000 virtual processors.

To terminate the database server and thereby terminate all virtual processors, use the -k option of the onmode utility. For more information on using onmode -k, refer to the utilities chapter of the IBM Informix: Administrator's Reference.
