Hello all, I have been looking at our sysctl.conf parameters to ensure that they are set properly.
Back in early SLES9 days I found a recommendation somewhere that said that if you were running SLES9 in an LPAR, you should set kernel.hz_timer=1. And for Linux under z/VM, you should set kernel.hz_timer=0. After searching the mailing list archives, it appears that it is still appropriate to set kernel.hz_timer=0 for SLES10 Linux guests. However, I have not found any recommendations for setting kernel.hz_timer when you are running SLES10 in an LPAR. Any advice or comments? Why am I asking this? Three of our Linux systems run in LPARS. Management wants a stripped down portion of our SAP system to continue running in the event that z/VM hiccups. (Which it sometimes does in the early stages of an ESP.) Having those three servers outside of z/VM can make life simpler when z/VM is having a bad day.
