Scheduling Class and Priority Configuration 

VCS allows you to specify priorities and scheduling classes for VCS processes. VCS supports the following scheduling classes:

  • RealTime (specified as "RT" in the configuration file)
  • TimeSharing (specified as "TS" in the configuration file)

On Solaris 9, the following classes are supported:

  • FairShare (specified as "FSS" in the configuration file)
  • FairPriority (specified as "FX" in the configuration file)
