[Info-ingres] Reducing the number of CPUs in an Ingres Installation

[Martin Bowes]

> For example, will reducing the number of CPUs require me to re-install Ingres or unload the database?

No.

> I see from the Installation Guide there is an Ingres environment variable II_NUM_OF_PROCESSORS - it's set to 2 in the installation, which bares absolutely no resemblance to the number of CPUs! :o

I think it's more of a flag 1 means 1 but 2 means 2 or more.

BTW. We did the reduce the cpu thing a year ago...and were pleasantly surprised at how well the system continued to run.
