3.1.4AIX Parameter Settings
This section discusses several general tasks necessary to ensure that your HACMP for AIX cluster environment works as planned. Consider or check the following issues to ensure that AIX works as expected in an HACMP cluster.
•I/O pacing
•User and group IDs (see Chapter 2.7, “User ID Planning” on page 48)
•Network option settings
•/etc/hosts file and nameserver edits
•/.rhosts file edits
3.1.4.1 I/O Pacing
AIX users have occasionally seen poor interactive performance from some applications when another application on the system is doing heavy input/output. Under certain conditions, I/O can take several seconds to complete. While the heavy I/O is occurring, an interactive process can be severely affected if its I/O is blocked, or, if it needs resources held by a blocked process.
Under these conditions, the HACMP for AIX software may be unable to send keepalive packets from the affected node. The Cluster Managers on other cluster nodes interpret the lack of keepalives as node failure, and the
You can use I/O pacing to tune the system so that system resources are distributed more equitably during high disk I/O. You do this by setting high-
