+SVRDISK

The +SVRDISK parameter specifies the maximum number of disk (or DASD) servers to start for server processing.

+SVRDISK is set by the configuration job, usually UBMCCNTL(NGT$GLBL). You can override this parameter in individual utility jobs with the UTLPARMS DD. You can specify the value of this parameter dynamically at runtime using the XSUTGLOB-global-variable-definition-automation-control-point.

Important

If you use +SVRMODE(MIXED), the internal server does count as one of the disk servers.

The values are defined as follows:

1

Signifies that 1 disk server should be started .

maxDisks

A number from 1 to 32 indicating the maximum number of disk servers to be started.

-1

Signifies that a disk server should not be started.

Important

-1 is only valid when running COPY under PGM=NGTUTIL. You should use +SVRMODE(INTERNAL) to prevent the use of servers. COPY should be run under PGM=ACPMAIN.

Example
+SVRDISK(2)

BMC AMI Utilities use a maximum of two disk servers for server processing. Both the internal and external servers count toward this maximum.
