Setting the automatic timer for file collections

Edit online

The default timer for automatic checks on file collections is ten minutes. You can change the amount of time as needed.

About this task

Note: The periodic check for changes to a file in a file collection runs on each node. However, these checks are not coordinated to run simultaneously on every node. Make changes to a file only on one node within the general time limit.

To customize the file collection time interval:

Procedure

  1. From the command line, enter smit sysmirror
  2. In SMIT, select System Management (C-SPOC) > PowerHA® SystemMirror® > File Collections > Manage > Change/Show Automatic Update Time and press Enter.

  4. Synchronize the cluster using SMIT.
