-C option to start_asap_sys
There's a -C option documented for start_asap_sys in Table 1-1 in the 7.2 administration guide. It states that -C "Starts ASAP services concurrently, rather than sequentially."
We have a lot of NEPs in our environment and this sounds like a convenient way to decrease boot time.
What does the -C option do exactly? When I attempt to use it, I get usage errors:
start_asap_sys -d -C
start_control_sys:
Usage:\nstart_control_sys\t[-d] [ -U User ] [ -P Password ] \n \t[ -a Profile ] [ -m MasterCtrl] [ SlaveCtrl ... ]\nor\nstart_control_sys -h\n\nwhere:\n\n\t -d \tis the ASAP development mode;\n\t User \tis the Control Database User ID;\n\t Password \tis the Control Database Password;\n\t Profile \tis an ASAP profile to be sourced before\n\t \tstarting up Remote or Slave Control Servers;\n\t MasterCtrl\tis the Master Control Server;\n\t SlaveCtrl \tis a Slave Control Server to start;\n\t -h \treturns the usage.\n
