DLM Hash Table Size Tuning
The Distributed Lock Manager (DLM) now allows tuning of DLM hash table sizes from the /etc/sysconfig/cman
file. The following parameters can be set in the /etc/sysconfig/cman
file:
DLM_LKBTBL_SIZE=<size_of_table> DLM_RSBTBL_SIZE=<size_of_table> DLM_DIRTBL_SIZE=<size_of_table>
which, in turn, modifies the values in the following files respectively:
/sys/kernel/config/dlm/cluster/lkbtbl_size /sys/kernel/config/dlm/cluster/rsbtbl_size /sys/kernel/config/dlm/cluster/dirtbl_size
