How to reduce OS booting time

Latest response

I am using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 OS. It takes more than 1 minute for booting. I have already disabled services like network manager, bluetooth services,pcscd,mdmonitor. Our OS need to support to run minicom,touch driver and Qt application during startup. And also bootup time to be within 30 seconds.
So Let me know what all other unwanted services need to be disabled to speed up the booting process.

Hereby I attached the ps log for your information.
thanks.

I suggest you move to RHEL 7. Which applications are currently running on your server? Any NFS?

Hi,

Looking at the process listing you provided, it seems you are running desktop, not server.

If you cannot upgrade to RHEL 7, then the following might help:

a) You mentioned that NetworkManager is disabled. That does not seem to be the case as it is shown in the process list:

1899 ? Ssl 0:00 NetworkManager --pid-file=/var/run/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.pid

b) Are you using Qt for the development of the GUI programs or non-GUI programs such as console tools and servers? If latter is the case, then disabling Gnome GUI (Metacity) might help.

c) Are these services really in use (in other words, are you using Desktop or Server?):

wpa-supplicant (wireless network) cupsd (printing) dhclient (DHCP) postfix (SMTP server)

d) Is, by any chance, CD-ROM or USB key connected to the system during the boot process?

e) Remove the "rhgb" flag in the kernel flags in grub.conf to get more output during boot process.

f) Try to boot anotehr kenerl and verify if it is also slow.

g) Do you have any remove mountd (like NFS) during boot process?

h) During boot, you can easily verify which process takes long time. Take note, check the logs and investigate further.

Hi Dusan Baljevic,

a) I have disabled the Network Manager but attached the old ps log . Below i have attached the new ps log for your reference.

b) We are using Qt to develop GUI applications.

c) We are using Desktop OS. And we dont need wpa-supplicant (wireless network) cupsd (printing) dhclient (DHCP) postfix (SMTP server). Do the OS boot time makes difference when installed as Desktop or Server .

d) CD-ROM is not connected during booting process. But we are using USB ports just to connect mouse and keyboard.

e) Can you please let me know, how to analyse the boot log after removing the rhgb flag. As i am new to this customisation, i don't know exact file or service to look into.

f) We cannot upgrade the kernel version. Current 6.5 OS use 2.6.32 kernel , but we can remove kernel driver or modules which are not necessary. As of now, we are booting default kernel image with no change.

g) No, We dont use any remove mounted (like NFS) during boot process.

h) During boot , we could see SMTP server running but it doesnt seem to take long time. Any way, we have removed it from the services. Can you guide to investigate further. Have attached the ps and chkconfig log for reference.

Thanks.

Yes, adding to the inputs provided above, I wanted to understand the reason behind this issue? Was the system booting fast before and now, it is taking time to boot-up? I was trying to find ways to find out each service boot up time, as you know there is "systemd-analyze blame" to produce a nice list of all services and boot-up time, or "systemd-analyze time" which gives overall view, but not easily available options in RHEL6.x

Hi, We have'nt found systemd-analyze-blame for RHEL 6.5. Thanks.

Just to be sure. Did you reduce the grub timeout value?

Yes. We have already changed the grub timeout=0. Thanks.

Could also try switching boot drive to an SSD.

Yes, We are booting from on-board 64 GB SSD. Thanks.

Hi,

I still see these services enabled and am note sure if you need them:

cups
ip6tables
nfslock
netfs
openct
libvirt-guests

Can you show us your /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf?

Also results of:

sestatus
iptables -L

Regards,

Dusan Baljevic (amateur radio VK2COT)

Hi,

We have disabled cups,nfslock,netfs,openct and libvirt-guests. It takes time for system logger service while booting.

Have attached the resolv.conf,nsswitch.conf and the results of sestatus and iptables - L below.

/etc/resolv.conf

# Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 8.8.8.8

/etc/nsswitch.conf

#
# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# An example Name Service Switch config file. This file should be
# sorted with the most-used services at the beginning.
#
# The entry '[NOTFOUND=return]' means that the search for an
# entry should stop if the search in the previous entry turned
# up nothing. Note that if the search failed due to some other reason
# (like no NIS server responding) then the search continues with the
# next entry.
#
# Valid entries include:
#
#   nisplus         Use NIS+ (NIS version 3)
#   nis         Use NIS (NIS version 2), also called YP
#   dns         Use DNS (Domain Name Service)
#   files           Use the local files
#   db          Use the local database (.db) files
#   compat          Use NIS on compat mode
#   hesiod          Use Hesiod for user lookups
#   [NOTFOUND=return]   Stop searching if not found so far
#

# To use db, put the "db" in front of "files" for entries you want to be
# looked up first in the databases
#
# Example:
#passwd:    db files nisplus nis
#shadow:    db files nisplus nis
#group:     db files nisplus nis

passwd:     files
shadow:     files
group:      files

#hosts:     db files nisplus nis dns
hosts:      files dns

# Example - obey only what nisplus tells us...
#services:   nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
#networks:   nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
#protocols:  nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
#rpc:        nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
#ethers:     nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
#netmasks:   nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files     

bootparams: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files

Hi,

a) Disable automount daemon if you are not using it.

b) Modify gam_server to ignore monitoring:

c) Can you try to boot without network? Unplug the network cable out, and check if the system boots up faster.

d) Enable more verbose boot process:
