Configuration restrictions and guidelines

When you configure process placement, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

• Configuring process placement on an IRF fabric with only one member device does not change the location of processes. All processes run on the main CPU of the IRF member device.

• Configuring process placement on an IRF fabric with multiple member devices places specific active processes to specific CPUs. In case of multiple CPUs, the system performs 1:N process redundancy, where N must be less than the number of CPUs. 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 there is no need to optimize process placement. If optimization is needed, contact Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support to avoid service interruption.
