PingDirectory

Disabling file system swapping

Because file system swapping can interfere with PingDirectory, disable performance tuning tools like tuned.

Steps

  1. Sign on as the root user.

  2. Add the line vm.swappiness = 0 to the file /etc/sysctl.conf.

  3. Restart the system to apply the change.

  4. Optional: If you need to tune performance after disabling file system swapping, do the following:

    1. Clone the existing performance profile.

    2. Run tuned.

    3. Add the line vm.swappiness = 0 to the file /usr/lib/tuned/profile-name/tuned.conf.

    4. To select the updated profile, run tuned-adm profile customized_profile.

    5. Restart the system to apply the changes.
