Customizing resource-balancing behavior
Customizing resource-balancing behavior is an advanced feature. Therefore, unless you know how changes will affect the outcome of resource balancing, use the default settings.
Procedure
- From the Domino® Administrator, click the Server - Performance tab, expand the Activity Trends section, and click Resource Balancing.
- Choose Resource Balancing - Options to open the Server Profile Options dialog box.
- Expand the Balancing section, and then click Advanced.
- Under Resource Balancing Behavior, choose one:
- Minimize Moves -- To minimize the number of moves made, even though the balance may not be as accurate when completed.
- Balance Moves and Accuracy -- To allow more moves, in an effort to reach a higher level of accuracy.
- Maximize Accuracy -- To allow as many moves as it takes to get the most accurate resource balance.
- Under When submitting a resource balancing plan choose
one of these:
- Automatically Select Server -- to automatically locate the server in the domain that has the Domino® Change Control database (DOMCHANGE.NSF). This is the default.
- Use Local Database Replica -- and then enter the path to use a replica of the Domino® Change Control database (DOMCHANGE.NSF) located on the local drive.
- Use Remote Server -- and then enter the name of the server that has the Domino® Change Control database (DOMCHANGE.NSF).
- Under Bin Sizes, choose the percentage for each bin:
- Light Bin -- Default is 30%
- Middle Bin -- Default is 40%
- Heavy Bin -- Default is 30%
- For the field Enter server resource capacities
as relative values when editing server properties, do
one:
- Check Yes (default) to specify server resource capabilities relative to other servers in the list.
- Uncheck Yes to specify actual values, such as the number of transactions per day or the total amount of available disk space.
- For the field Use server volume and file system
information when resource balancing, do one:
- Check Yes (default) to use the volume information, such as physical volumes and their sizes that comprise the space available to Domino®.
- Uncheck Yes to ignore volume information and use the total amount of space on the server, treating all space as flat.
- For the field "Warning when data is older than n days," enter the number of days before a warning is generated. The default is 7 days. Then if you create a resource-balancing plan and the data is older than 7 days, you receive a warning that the resulting plan will be based on old data.
- Choose one of the following options to set Resource Balancing
behavior defaults:
- Use Defaults -- To revert to previously saved custom defaults.
- Save as Defaults -- To save a custom set of defaults and override the system defaults.
- Reset Defaults -- To revert to the system defaults.
