RE: long checkpoints

Posted By: Darrell Murphy

In Response To: RE: long checkpoints (Alexey Sonkin )

Is there any chance you can increase CLEANERS and LRUS? I know this is =
a
memory balancing issue but if you can, try to increase those. When we =
get a
long checkpoint it is often because the LRUS and CLEANERS got swamped =
with
data and can't keep up.

Karen,

What platform are you on? Is it supporting KAIO?
(take a look at onstat -g iov)

It seems, you need to increase NUMAIOVPS to smth reasonable
(like: number of physical disk drives)=20

Is there any reason for setting " NOFUZZYCKPT 1"?

If is very useful to take a look at onstat -R before
the checkpoint and at onstat -F
