Improving Performance
•
Network failures
•
A TCP going down (Pathway/iTS environment only)
•
Server process failure
In certain network situations, communication delays between the PATHMON process
and link managers, such as the LINKMON process, can reduce response time even
further.
Improving Performance
You can improve PATHMON performance in some instances by reconfiguring your
PATHMON environment. These subsections describe options that you might want to
consider.
Configure for Sufficient Number of Links
You should ensure that there are enough links available in the system initially by
specifying appropriate values for MAXLINKS, LINKDEPTH, MAXSERVERS, and
MAXSERVERPROCESSES.
Use Multiple PATHMON Processes to Manage Servers and
Associated Links
You can create separate PATHMON processes to manage servers and their
associated links. By distributing link management among multiple processes, you
improve response time. The cost, however, is increased operational complexity.
