Re: Satellite nodes and pagefiles

But I also want NODE2 to be able to boot locally from SYS1, and NODE1 to be a satellite of NODE2 as [SYS0].

And I want to use a sysgen USERDx parameter to indicate to my DCL special cases where I do not wish to install a local pagefile (for when I do backups so that the target disk can be reinitialised). In which case, I might need a remote pagefile. (hence my question for the smallest size)


Just an idea: if You decide to reboot without the local disk pagefile by changing sysgen parameter USERDx, why not simply do the parameter change in a command-file, which at the same time creates the small pagefile on the system disk, or just renames it from something to pagefile.sys, and vice versa for normal boot.
And also the "cross-booting" case can be automated: let the command-file
compare sys$sysdevice to localdisk: if equal, use sys$system:pagefile, otherwise use localdisk:pagefile
This way normally only the local (big) pagefile is in use.
