PowerPath 5.1.2 for SLES 10 SP2 increased load...
We are recently upgraded from not using PowerPath at all to starting to use 5.1.2 for a SLES 10 SP2 machine connected to a SAN.
However prior to using it our load was approximately around 5-6 (processes in run queue) on a this machine and after the installation this increased to 8-12 which is quite high for our 8 cores machine. How can this be? I never thought that the installation of the PowerPath would increase the load on the machine but perhaps decrease it...this is quite urgent for us since we don't want to degrade the machine to not using PowerPath again....
Any recommendations on how this can be tweaked to increase the performance (and decrease the load) or diagnosed to find the possible setup error?
Kind regards
