Mode configuration rules

This topic describes the rules for OceanBase Deployer (OBD) to automatically generate configurations when you deploy an OceanBase cluster on the GUI.

CPU

You can obtain the CPU resource metrics by running the following command:

grep -e 'processor\s*:' /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l

The value of the cpu_count parameter is fixed at 16 in Minimum Required mode, and is equal to max(16, number of CPU cores - 2) in Maximum Utilization mode.

Memory

You can obtain the memory resource metrics by running the following command:

# Total memory
grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo
# Available memory
grep MemAvailable /proc/meminfo

Specify the following memory parameters based on the corresponding rules.

memory_limit

• In Minimum Required mode, the value is fixed at 6G.

• In Maximum Utilization mode, the value of the memory_limit parameter is equal to max(6G, available memory × 0.9). If the available disk space is insufficient, the value will be automatically adjusted. The minimum value is 6G.

system_memory

• In Minimum Required mode, the value is fixed at 1G.

• In Maximum Utilization mode, the value of this parameter varies with that of the memory_limit parameter based on the rules described in the following table.

  memory_limit	[6G, 8G)	[8G, 16G)	[16G, 32G)	[32G, 48G)	[48G, 64G]	(64G, +∞)
  system_memory	2G	3G	5G	7G	10G

Disk

You can obtain the total disk size, occupied disk size, and available disk size by running the following command:

df --output=size,avail,target

The following table describes the rules for specifying disk parameters.

Note the following:

• When the disk space is insufficient, the value of the memory_limit parameter is adjusted to ensure storage security.

• A certain amount of disk space must be reserved on a mounted disk for OBServer logs.

  • If log rotation is disabled, 1 GB is reserved.

  • If log rotation is enabled, the space to be reserved is calculated based on the total number of log files that can be retained.
