Configuring Kernel Thread Starvation Detection; Displaying And Maintaining Kernel Threads - HP 5920 Configuration Manual

Step
3. (Optional.) Set the interval
for identifying a kernel
thread deadloop.
4. (Optional.) Disable kernel
thread deadloop detection
for a kernel thread.

Configuring kernel thread starvation detection

CAUTION:
Inappropriate configuration of kernel thread starvation detection can cause service problems or system
breakdown. Make sure you understand the impact of this configuration on your network before you do it.
Starvation occurs when a thread is unable to access shared resources.
Kernel thread starvation detection enables the system to detect and report thread starvation. If a thread
is not executed within a specific interval, the system considers that a starvation has occurred, and
generates a starvation message.
Thread starvation does not impact system operation. A starved thread can automatically run when
certain conditions are met.
To configure kernel thread starvation detection:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enable kernel thread
starvation detection.
3. (Optional.) Set the interval
for identifying a kernel
thread starvation.
4. (Optional.) Disable kernel
thread starvation detection
for a kernel thread.
