Overview

Manages the irqbalance package

Description

Installs and manages the the IRQ balancing daemon software package. The daemon is only enabled/started if the system has a $::processorcountof greater than one. This is because the daemon will automatically exit on single processor systems.

Usage

include irqbalance

class { 'irqbalance': }

class { 'irqbalance': ensure => present } # default
class { 'irqbalance': ensure => latest }
class { 'irqbalance': ensure => absent }

• ensure

  String defaults to: present

  Uses Standard Puppet ensure semantics. Valid values are: present, absent

Limitations

On $::osfamily == 'RedHat', no attempt is made to manage /etc/sysconfig/irqbalance. This is arguably a bug.

On $::osfamily == 'Debian', no attempt is made to manage /etc/default/irqbalance. This is also arguably a bug.

Tested Platforms

• el5.x
• el6.x
• Fedora 18
• Debian 7.0 (wheezy)
• Ubuntu precise (12.04.2 LTS)
