Steps for modifying the UNRESPONSIVETHRESHOLD value

You can modify your threshold value and restart or refresh the resolver.

Before you begin

You must have already created a resolver setup file; see Steps for creating a resolver setup file for instructions.

Procedure

Perform the following steps to modify the UNRESPONSIVETHRESHOLD value.

Specify the UNRESPONSIVETHRESHOLD value that you want to use in the resolver setup file:
- To disable the monitoring function, specify UNRESPONSIVETHRESHOLD(0).
- To notify the network operator, specify UNRESPONSIVETHRESHOLD(percentage), where percentage is a value in the range 1 - 100. Do not specify the AUTOQUIESCE operand on the UNRESPONSIVETHRESHOLD statement.
- To automatically quiesce unresponsive name servers, specify UNRESPONSIVETHRESHOLD(percentage,AUTOQUIESCE), where percentage is a value in the range 1 - 100.
  Rule: If you do not specify the UNRESPONSIVETHRESHOLD statement in the resolver setup file, the resolver notifies the network operator using the default value, which is 25%.
Perform one of the following steps:
- If the resolver is not active, start the resolver.
- If the resolver is currently active, issue the MODIFY RESOLVER,REFRESH,SETUP=setup_file_name command to cause the resolver to use the new threshold setting.
  If you did not specify the AUTOQUIESCE operand on the UNRESPONSIVETHRESHOLD statement, the new percentage value is used at the end of the next sliding 5-minute interval to determine name server responsiveness.
  
  If you specified the AUTOQUIESCE operand on the UNRESPONSIVETHRESHOLD statement, the new percentage value is used at the end of the next 30-second interval to determine name server responsiveness.

Results

You know you are done when the correct UNRESPONSIVETHRESHOLD value and AUTOQUIESCE values are displayed after you issue the START command or the correct values are displayed in the MODIFY RESOLVER,REFRESH command output.
