About VXFEN tunable parameters
On each node, edit the file /etc/sysconfig/vxfen to change the value of the vxfen driver tunable global parameter, vxfen_max_delay and vxfen_min_delay. You must restart the system to put change into effect.
VXFEN tunable parameters describes tunable parameters for the VXFEN driver.

vxfen_max_delay and vxfen_min_delay
(See below.)
|
In the event of a network partition, the smaller cluster delays before racing for the coordinator disks. The time delayed allows a larger sub-cluster to win the race for the coordinator disks. The vxfen_max_delay and vxfen_min_delay parameters define the delay in seconds.
|
vxfen_max_delay
|
Specifies the maximum number of seconds that the smaller sub-cluster waits before racing with larger clusters for control of the coordinator disks.
This value must be greater than the vxfen_min_delay value.
-
Values
Default: 60
Minimum: 0
Maximum: 600
|
vxfen_min_delay
|
Specifies the minimum number of seconds that the smaller sub-cluster waits before racing with larger clusters for control of the coordinator disks. This value must be smaller than the vxfen_max_delay value.
-
Values
Default: 1
Minimum: 0
Maximum: 600

Configuring the VXFEN parameters
For the parameter changes to take effect, reconfigure the VXFEN module.
To reconfigure the VXFEN module
-
Unconfigure the VXFEN module.
# /sbin/vxfenconfig -U
-
Unload the module.
# /etc/init.d/vxfen stop
-
Edit the /etc/sysconfig/vxfen file.
For example, change the entry from:
vxfen_min_delay=0
to:
vxfen_min_delay=30
-
Start the VXFEN module.
# /etc/init.d/vxfen start
-
Start VCS.
# hastart
-
Bring the service groups online.
# hagrp -online oragrp -sys galaxy
