Exclude File
The exclude file (EXCLUDE.101) is used to specify processes and/or CPUs that will be
excluded from consideration in the tuning/balancing logic used for the recommendation
section of the GPA Report.
The entry format of the exclude file is
keyword [value
,]…
Valid keywords include CPUTO, CPUFROM and PROGRAM.
Valid values depend on the keyword and include:
For CPUTO, CPUFROM: 0-15. Multiple CPUs should be comma-separated.
For PROGRAM: Guardian external file name ($vol.subvol.fn), 1 per line. Multiple
PROGRAM lines are permitted.
For an example of a correctly-formatted exclude file, see below.
CPUTO 1,11
CPUFROM 5,15
PROGRAM $VOL.SUB-VOL.PROG1
PROGRAM $VOL.SUB-VOL.PROG2
PROGRAM $VOL.SUB-VOL.PROG3
In this example, CPUs 1 and 11 will be excluded from consideration for moving any
resource to those CPUs. 5 and 15 will be excluded when looking for more candidates
for balancing. Additionally, PROG1, PROG2, and PROG3 will not be candidates for a
balancing move regardless of resident CPU.
Finally, if no exclusions are needed then the EXCLUDE file should be empty or deleted.
