Next: Partition Attribute Self_Location, Previous: Pragma Name_Server, Up: The Configuration Language
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).
