Parameter: restartRandMax

Startup parameters change the behavior of the HPE Service Manager server. You can always set a startup parameter from the server's operating system command prompt.

Parameter

restartRandMax

Description

This initialization file option specifies the maximum number of minutes the server can randomly add to spread out the restart times of processes on a host. The server will randomly pick a number from 0 to the parameter value to add to the restart wait time.

Note The random extension of the restart time only applies when all processes on a host are restarting. The purpose of the random restart time extension is to minimize the chance that two or more processes restart at the same time since each process that restarts briefly reduces system capacity. If you are only restarting one process, there is no need to stagger restart times to preserve capacity and therefore the server ignores any restartRandMax value.
