Set trigger conditions (thresholds) for host scavenging using the CLI

You must be a cluster administrator. You must be logged on to Windows as the local systems OS account administrator or logged on to Linux/UNIX as the root OS account.

Indicate thresholds using the command line. The scavenging agent (SA) uses the thresholds to evaluate trigger conditions that enable EGO to open the host for scavenging.

Restriction:

Host scavenging is a feature for use with Platform Symphony.

  1. Run
    egosh ego elimrestart SA on, <user_idle_time_threshold_in_minutes>,<Adjusted_CPU_utilization_threshold_in_percentage>,<CPU_idle_time_threshold_in_minutes> host_name
    ...

    For example:

    egosh ego elimrestart SA on,2,0.3,1.7 Host1

    This example enables (turns “on”) desktop scavenging on Host1, sets the user idle time threshold (uit_t) to 2 minutes, the Adjusted CPU utilization threshold (cu_t) to 30%, and the CPU idle time threshold (cit_t) to 1.7 minutes (100 seconds).

    Note:

    To enable and configure server scavenging, the user idle time threshold must be set to 0.

  2. Run
    egosh resource list -o agent_control,uit_t,cu_t,cit_t Host1
    (no spaces before or after commas) to ensure the agent control flag is turned on and that the threshold indices are set as intended.
