Balance Cluster System Utilization Using the Resource Display

Use the Resource displays to determine the workload on nodes and disks on your cluster system, and balance the workload as necessary. For example, if your Resource display shows one node that has a high percentage of a resource in use, you may wish to move work from that node to other nodes to balance resource utilization on your cluster system.

Each display shows cluster-wide information consisting of memory, disk, or CPU metrics for selected nodes and disks in a cluster. Each display consists of the following two parts:

• An upper part containing metrics appropriate to the display name (for example, memory-related metrics). This part is unique for each different type of display.
• A lower part containing memory utilization, direct I/O rate, and CPU utilization for selected nodes in the cluster. This part is the same for each of the three displays.

The lower portion of a display common to all three displays is described in the following section.
