[Networker] Running a storage node on AMD opteron w. linux?
2005-09-29 18:01:12
Has anyone had any experience with running a storage node on 64-bit x64
(opteron) versions of linux? As I understand it, there's currently only
32-bit binaries out for linux of networker, but I guess that shouldn't be
a problem? Are there any other issues with running a storage node on linux
in general? Currently we're running our main backup server on solaris
sparc, but we're planning to add a storage node running x64 linux on HP
hardware, since the price/performance gain is significant. Also, we hope
to reduce the problem with high kernel CPU utilization when network
throughput is high, as discussed in previous threads. :) But that's
another story..
So, in short, are there any pitfalls/gotchas that one should be aware of
before installing? If it matters, we're planning on using the SuSE
distribution, since I can't stand Red Hat.
