Hello Chris, Regarding number 2 below, in fact the default limits are "100", so Alex's configuration of "500" should increase the performance.
Of couse there can be configured for unlimited, but this is something one should decide by him(her)self according to the environment. Please see this link: http://www.linuxdynasty.org/howto-increase-gfs2-performance-in-a-cluster.html Regards, Celso. ________________________________ From: "Jankowski, Chris" <[email protected]> To: linux clustering <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, April 16, 2010 9:39:54 PM Subject: Re: [Linux-cluster] Two node cluster, start CMAN fence the other node Alex, 1. Thank you very much. The Cisco setup is very useful and the commands for testing multicast as well. 2 Loking at your cluster.conf, I would have thought that any limits on dlm and gfs lock rates are counterproductive in the days of multicore CPUs and GbE. They should be unlimited in my opinion. Under high load the limiting factor will be saturation of one core by gfs control daemon.
