Time taking for cfgmgr on dual VIO

UNIX AIX
1

Hi,

From the man page, cfgmgr configures devices and optionally installs device software by running the programs specified in the Configuration Rules object class and it is not dependent on platform [standalone/VIO].

Are there any fundamental differences impacting the speed of cfgmgr on a stand-alone and dual VIO server?

On VIO server cfgmgr is taking more time to compare with stand-alone machine.

Thanks for yours suggestions and help.

Clearly the "speed" of the machine and the amount of "stuff" to configure will have a profound effect.

I agree with dukessd. The next step is to figure out how long it takes for all the devices and see if it's hanging on a particular one. If you're using dual vios with the same configuration you could perhaps compare the two...do a

to observe the process.

Thanks for your quick replies,

We are using few /usr/lib/methods in cfgmgr and they are little slow on VIO.

Many thanks.

/usr/lib/methods is just a directory path...what methods are slow, do

cfgmgr -v

Hi,

Its our custom method under /usr/lib/methods which is taking time to execute and now we are done with that change.

Thanks for your help.
