Set trigger conditions (thresholds) for host scavenging

You must be a cluster administrator. You must be logged on to Windows as the local systems OS account administrator or logged on to Linux/UNIX as the root OS account.

Indicate thresholds using the command line. The scavenging agent (SA) uses the thresholds to evaluate trigger conditions that open the host for scavenging.

Restriction:

Host scavenging is a feature for use with Platform Symphony.

  1. Run
    egosh ego elimrestart SA on, <user_idle_time_threshold_in_minutes>,<CPU_utilization_threshold_in_percentage>,<CPU_idle_time_threshold_in_minutes> host_name
    ...

    For example:

    egosh ego elimrestart SA on,2,0.3,1.7 Host1

    This example enables (turns “on”) host scavenging on Host1, sets the user idle time threshold (uit_t) to 2 minutes, the CPU utilization threshold (cu_t) to 30%, and the CPU idle time threshold (cit_t) to 1.7 minutes (100 seconds).

  2. Run
    egosh resource list -o agent_control,uit_t,cu_t,cit_t Host1
    (no spaces before or after commas) to ensure the agent control flag is turned on and that the threshold indices are set as intended.
