Hello All,
I would like your advise on how we can increase the boot performance, i.e
- when we are booting 84 nodes at once (Statelite) some of them (~2)
usually do not boot (looks like they are not getting dhcp request but i'm
not completely sure) and we have to reboot them.
when booting 168 from the same node the number goes up to ~5-7 nodes.
While this is might be acceptable we would still like to improve it.
I know the first thing comes to mind is the network - we have 4 port LACP
bonding, however, only two ports are actually active on send for some
reason - we see two links fully loaded and two links do not send anything.
on receive the bond behave as expected.
I know the LACP issue has nothing to do with xCAT but i'm sure people on
the list have optimized the boot performance before.
Any advise is appreciated and happy Christmas :)
Regards,
Gilad Berman
