To avoid performance problems, do the following:
Do Not Configure All Managed Nodes at One Time
Minimize the number of managed nodes getting new
configuration data at the same time:
— Select only a few nodes at a time in the IP map, Node Bank,
or Node Group Bank window.
— In the Node Bank or Node Group Bank window, open the
Configure Management Server window by selecting
Actions: Server->Configure... (see Figure 3-2 on
page 207). Set a low number in the Parallel Distribution
field. For details, press F1 to access online help for this field.
Reduce the Process Priority of the Distribution Manager
Use the renice(1) command to reduce the process priority of the
distribution manager (opcdistm) on the management server.
Use Selective Distribution Feature of the Distribution Manager
Prevent distribution of the particular configuration files which
are not needed on a specific node by using the Selective
Distribution feature of the Distribution Manager (opcdistm).
For details on Selective Distribution Feature, see “Selective
Distribution of User-selected Files to Managed Nodes” on
page 209.
❏ Identical Files
Use the customer file if identical files for actions|cmds|monitor
are found in the customer and vendor directories:
/var/opt/OV/share/databases/OpC/mgd_node/customer/\
/var/opt/OV/share/databases/OpC/mgd_node/vendor/\
