You can select whether to enable load balancing.
The following is an example command to set load-balancing.
# /opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr set -lb on -lbtype exlio
Set it to on to enable load balancing. Otherwise, set it to off. When you set on, specify one of the following algorithm values after the -lbtype option:
-
rr for the Round Robin algorithm
-
exrr for the Extended Round Robin algorithm
-
lio for the Least I/Os algorithm
-
exlio for the Extended Least I/Os algorithm
-
lbk for the Least Blocks. algorithm
-
exlbk for the Extended Least Blocks algorithm
The type of algorithm specified by the -lbtype parameter remains stored in the system, even if, you disable the load balancing function by specifying -lb off. If you decide to re-enable load balancing at a later time, and you do not specify an algorithm, load balancing will still be executed by using the algorithm that was previously specified.
