36.5 Configuring the Resources for Event Partition Compression

You can specify the number of processors for mksquashfs to use when compressing the index on the event data. This capability enables the mksquashfs utility to make more use of additional CPUs that may be available on some systems.

  1. Log in to the system as the root user.

  2. Open the /etc/opt/novell/sentinel/config/configuration.properties file.

  3. Add or edit the mksquashfs.numprocessors property and specify the desired value. This value specifies the number of processors you want to allow mksquashfs to use.

     mksquashfs.numprocessors=4
  4. Save the changes.

  5. Restart the Sentinel server.
