Next: Partition Attribute Self_Location, Previous: Pragma Name_Server, Up: The Configuration Language [Contents][Index]
When a partition starts executing, one of the first steps consists in a connection to the boot server. This pragma provides one or more locations in order to get a connection with the boot server.
PRAGMA ::= PRAGMA_WITH_NAME_AND_DATA | PRAGMA_WITH_LOCATION | PRAGMA_WITH_LOCATION_LIST PRAGMA_WITH_NAME_AND_DATA ::= pragma Boot_Location ([Protocol_Name =>] STRING_LITERAL, [Protocol_Data =>] STRING_LITERAL); PRAGMA_WITH_LOCATION ::= pragma Boot_Location ([Location =>] LOCATION); PRAGMA_WITH_LOCATION_LIST ::= pragma Boot_Location ([Locations =>] LOCATION_LIST);
This boot server location can be concatenated into a single string to be used as a command line option or an environment variable (see Partition Runtime Parameters).
Note: pragma Boot_Server is now obsolete. It is recommended to use pragma Boot_Location. This wording is more consistent with the rest of the configuration language (see Self_Location ‘Partition Option self_location’ and Data_Location ‘Partition Option data_location’).
