VMS Help  —  RMU72  Set  Shared Memory, Command Qualifiers, Rad Hint
    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.
