Setting scheduler is global in C4 it can be set as a kernel option with a scheduler=deadline in grub.
Is that an alias for "elevator=deadline" (which I know works)?
No that was me forgetting the option name.
Thanks Peter, it's elevator= not scheduler=
Does this mean I need to add "elevator=deadline" to grub.conf? Is there a way to make the change without rebooting?
I'm afraid not, so possibly a late night or weekend event with the option for a mid day reboot to recover if things turn out badly.
Virtualize things and you can minimize downtime with snapshots.
