Excluding resource groups from the host view

It is sometimes easier to examine the workload status of a host when you can exclude one or more resource groups from the host view.

About this task

To exclude resource groups from the host view, configure the EGO_EXCLUDE_RG_FOR_SLOT parameter in the ego.conf file, under EGO_CONFDIR.

Procedure

On a management host, use a text editor to open ego.conf.
Specify the resource groups to exclude in the EGO_EXCLUDE_RG_FOR_SLOT parameter.
Assume your host is named bjr610.yourcompany.url.com. This host has 31 slots in resource group RG_A and eight slots resource group RG_B. To exclude resource group RG_A, you configure the EGO_EXCLUDE_RG_FOR_SLOT parameter as follows:
```
EGO_EXCLUDE_RG_FOR_SLOT=RG_A
```
If you are excluding more than one resource group, separate the resource groups with a semicolon (;).
For example, you exclude resource groups RG_1 and RG_2 as follows:
```
EGO_EXCLUDE_RG_FOR_SLOT=RG_1;RG_2
```
Restart the VEMKD with the following command:

egosh ego restart vemkd

Results

Using the preceding example where RG_A is excluded, the host view shows that the total number of slots for host bjr610.company.url.com is eight.
