The SM throttling is a feature that limits the number of parallel
service-enabling processes at a time. The SM throttling mechanism is
always ON, during and after startup. Whenever SM controlled services
transition to enabled status, it takes part of the process.
By default, the SM throttling allows a maximum of 2 parallel service
enabling processes at a time, but the throttling size is configurable,
by means of the field ENABLING_THROTTLE from the CONFIGURATION table in
the SM-DB database. Hence, it is possible to disable the SM throttling
by increasing the throttling size to a reasonable big enough value,
such way to enable full capacity of parallel service enabling.
This commit improves system performance by disabling the SM throttling
for AIO-SX systems, while still keeping the SM throttling mechanism,
should it ever be needed as a fallback, for robustness reasons.
In order to evaluate the SM throttling feature, and its costs in terms
of performance, the throttling size was modified such way to disable the
feature, from value 2 to 1000, and a series of tests were conducted to
evaluate stability and performance benefits.
Test Plan:
- Fresh Install and bootstrap (PASS)
- Lock/Unlock (PASS)
- Restart SM service (PASS)
