Rad_Hint=n Norad_Hint Indicates a request that memory should be allocated from the specified OpenVMS Alpha Resource Affinity Domain (RAD). This qualifier specifies a hint to Oracle Rdb and OpenVMS about where memory should be physically allocated. It is possible that if the requested memory is not available, it will be allocated from other RADs in the system. For systems that do not support RADs, a Rad_Hint value of zero is valid. The Rad_Hint qualifier is only valid when the shared memory type is set to Resident. If you set the shared memory type to System or Process, you disable any previously defined RAD hint. Use the Norad_Hint qualifier to disable the RAD hint. NOTE OpenVMS support for RADs is available only on the AlphaServer GS series systems. For more information about using RADs, refer to the OpenVMS Alpha Partitioning and Galaxy Guide.
