All ADSM servers are multi-threaded.  The ADSM 2.1.0 AIX server uses
heavy-weight processes for the threads, while the ADSM 2.1.5 server utilizes
the pthread kernel available on AIX 4.1.4+.  The ADSM 2.1.5 product is better
suited for SMP environments.

Version 2.1.5 on AIX 4 supports multiple threads.  Version 2.1.0
does not.

RE:  ADSM for AIX Server

Does the ADSM for AIX Server use multi-tasking?  My concern is
the probably
the opposite
of what you are thinking.  I have an RS6000 hi-node with 4
processors.  It
will be running
multiple applications.  If I put an ADSM server on it I am concerned
that it
might hog all
the processors.  Do I need to worry about this?
