Setting Up Load Balancing

You can select whether to enable load balancing.

The following is an example of using a command to set load balancing.

# /opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr set -lb on -lbtype exlio

To enable load balancing, specify on. Specify off otherwise. When you set
on, specify one of the following algorithm values after the -lbtype option:

rr for the Round Robin algorithm

exrr for the Extended Round Robin algorithm

lio for the Least I/Os algorithm

exlio for the Extended Least I/Os algorithm

lbk for the Least Blocks. algorithm

exlbk for the Extended Least Blocks algorithm

The type of algorithm specified by the -lbtype parameter remains stored in

the system, even if, you disable the load balancing function by specifying -lb
off. If you decide to re-enable load balancing at a later time, and you do not

specify an algorithm, load balancing will still be executed by using the

algorithm that was previously specified.

Setting Up Path Health Checking

You can choose whether you want to use path health checking.

The following is an example of using a command to enable path health

checking.
