I am back to this question =)

I am still trying to understand the impact of "High CPU load detected"
messages in the log.
Looking in the code I figured out that setting "load-threshold" parameter
to something higher than 100% solves the problem.
And actually for 8 cores (12 with Hyper Threading) load-threshold=400% kind
of works.

Also I noticed that this parameter may have an impact on the number of "the
maximum number of jobs that can be scheduled per node". As there is a
formula to limit F_CRM_THROTTLE_MAX based on F_CRM_THROTTLE_MODE.

Is my understanding correct that the impact of setting "load-threshold"
high enough (so there is no noisy messages) will lead only to the
"throttle_job_max" and nothing more.
Also, if I got it correct, than "throttle_job_max" is a number of allowed
parallel actions per node in lrmd.
And a child of the lrmd is actually an RA process running some actions
(monitor, start, etc).

So there is no impact on how many RA (resources) can run on a node, but how
Pacemaker will operate with them in parallel (I am not sure I understand
this part correct).

Thank you,
Kostia
