Hello,
We are using Pacemaker to manage the services that run on a node, as part
of a service management framework, and manage the nodes running the services
as a cluster. One service will be running as 1+1 and other services with be
N+1.
During our testing, we see that the pacemaker processes are taking about
10-15% of the CPU. We would like to know if this is normal and could the
CPU utilization be minimised.
Sample Output of most used CPU process in a Active Manager is
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
189 15766 30.4 0.0 94616 12300 ? Ss 18:01 48:15

/usr/libexec/pacemaker/stonithd
We also observed that the processes are not distributed equally to all the
available cores and saw that Redhat acknowledging that rhel doesn't
distribute to the available cores efficiently. We are trying to use
IRQbalance to spread the processes to the available cores equally.
Please let us know if there is any way we could minimise the CPU
utilisation. We dont require stonith feature, but there is no way stop that
daemon from running to our knowledge. If that is also possible, please let
us know.
Thanks,
Karthik.
