<h1 class="topictitle1">Tune cluster performance</h1>
<div><p>Since potentially significant differences exist in your communications
environment, you have the capability to adjust variables that affect cluster
communications to best match your environment.</p>
<p>The default values should normally be acceptable to most common environments.
If your particular environment is not well suited for these defaults, you
can tune cluster communications to better match your environment. Two levels
of tuning are available.</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Base-level tuning</h4><p>Base-level tuning allows you to
set the tuning parameters to a predefined set of values identified for high,
low, and normal timeout and messaging interval values. When the normal level
is selected, the default values are used for cluster communications performance
and configuration parameters. Selecting the low level causes clustering to
increase the heartbeating interval and the various message timeout values.
With fewer heartbeats and longer timeout values, the cluster will be less
sensitive to communications failures. Selecting the high level causes clustering
to decrease the heartbeating interval and the various message timeout values.
With more frequent heartbeats and shorter timeout values, the cluster will
be more sensitive to communications failures.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Advanced-level tuning</h4><p>Advanced-level tuning is also
available such that individual parameters may be tuned over predefined ranges
of values. This allows more granular tuning to meet any special circumstances
in your communications environment. If an advanced level of tuning is desired,
it is recommended that you obtain help from IBM<sup>®</sup> support personnel or equivalent. Setting
the individual parameters incorrectly can easily result in decreased performance.</p>
