Hi all,
Looking to replace some old hardware with shiny and new. Wondering if
anyone out there had some commentary on anything idiotic I may be
putting down as my requirements ;-)
Backup software to be used: Symantec Enterprise Netbackup 6.5, we'll be
procuring 1 master server, and 2 media servers to drive a total of 600
MB/s aggregate to a Diligent Protectier VTL.
OS Options (any will do):
- Solaris 10 for SPARC for both Master/Media
- Solaris 10 for x86 for both Master/Media
- RedHat Linux Enterprise 4 for x86 for both Master/Media
NIC requirements (per master/media server):
- ~200 MB/s aggregate throughput required (real-world)
- Suggesting 4x1 GigE NICs (single team) with offload engines
HBA requirements (per master/media server):
- ~2x200 MB/s aggregate throughput required (two separate buses, one for
read, one for write, yes we still duplicate to LTO3 physical tape)
- Either two single port 4GB HBA's or one dual-port 4GB HBA's
Bus requirements:
- 1 independent PCI-E (x2) bus at minimum for each single-ported 4gb HBA
- 1 independent PCI-E (x4) bus at minimum for a dual-ported 4gb HBA
- 1 independent PCI-E (x8) bus at minimum for a quad GigE w/ offload
engines
Internal Disk Requirements:
- One raid-set of 500 GB of Raid 1+0 (usable), probably 10k SAS, for
Netbackup catalogs on master server only
- A raid-set of 100GB of Raid 1+0 (usable), probably 10k SAS, for
OS/other application data on media and master
Memory Requirements:
- 12GB for the master server
- 4GB for a media server
CPU Requirements:
- Equivalent of four dual-core CPUs for the master server
- Equivalent of two dual-core CPUs for the media servers
Thoughts (Paul Keating stay of it ;-)?
Cheers,
Jon
