RAID Config

The RAID configuration file contains the parameters for the RAID simulation in the following order:

• the number of source processes to generate the requests,
• the number of fork processes to route the request,
• the number of disks in the disk array,
• the number of tokens to be generated by each process, and
• the number of LPs.

The RAID configuration file should be named "RAID.config", and there should be a link, called RAID.config, to this file in the users top level directory. Here is an example of a configuration file which will simulate 30 processes each sending 10 tokens, 4 fork objects routing the requests, which route the requests to 10 disks, and will simulate on 4 LPs.

Example RAID.config:

30
4
10
10
4

Note: In order to partition the simulation across workstations, a file called "procgroup" must exist the same directory as the executable file.
