Hey Ted!
Do you ever experience a time when you have one process(nsrmmdbd) that
is totally maxing out one processor on your 480R?
There are times when most of my threads on the T5220 are at around 20%
moving data, but one thread is pinned at 100% running nsrmmdbd.
Thanks for the response!
Side question.. do you backup indexes at the time of backups or at some
point later in the day?
Joel

Subject: RE: Datazone Size...
My environment is now this size, down from 12+ TB per night average.
However, my environment is older school and w/o any SAN for endpoint. I
have:
1x Sun 480R for master (4x 900Mhz, 16G)
3x Sun v490 for Storage node (4x 1.35Ghz,8G each)
- each SN w/5x TOE 1Gb NICs
SN feed 6x 9940B each, Master has 4x 9940B (I will most likely be going
to a 16x IBM 3592e05 DDS over the 4 endpoints). I'm an all network-path
shop, so I'm limited to gigE on the high side....so this could limit the
amount of DB hit at any given moment vs SAN direct levels of metadata.
However, note that I'm doing just fine with a 480R for my master head
(also note that I send NO client traffic to the master, just metadata),
so I'd think a T5220 would be sufficient to manage a much larger client
count/index/DB/etc.
Hope this helps. Looking forward to playing with a T5220 myself
sometime soon. Thanks.

Subject: [Networker] Datazone Size...
Hey All...
I've asked this in the past and gotten no response... I could really use
some insight from you guys at really large networker shops. It's budget
time again so I have to look 18 months out and either budget to expand
my current environment, or hope it will be able to handle the growth.
What is the largest single datazone you've seen? I know this is a very
general question for a complex system, but I'm asking rule of thumb and
personal experience.
By largest I mean, number of clients and/or the amount of data.
Our current config:
T5220/16GB memory server
T2000 Storage Node
~400 clients
1 (60TB) netapp array that we do NDMP backups direct to tape
10 x 9940B drives
105TB of adv_file storage
20TB(raw) of diligent VTL storage
300TB per month of backups/~11TB per day/~70TB per week
Last 3 years we've averaged 42% growth
What are the details of the largest single datazone you've seen?
What is your rule of thumb for large environments before you break off
to another datazone?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Joel
