 Hi Jose,

I Disagree. We use 2 Sun V890 as well, each equipped as follows:
4 * US IV+ 15000 MHz cpu's,
16 GB Mem,
4 * 2 GB Sun-branded EMULEX HBA's,
1 * SUNW qlc (4*Gbit NIC),
2 * 1 GE NIC
1 * 10 GBE PCI-X

Running Networker 7.4.3 Build 569.

One Hoste is doing the networker Server Part and the other is a storage node, 
performing cloning jobs (we have additional Storagenodes, performing Backup's 
as well).

We have no performance problems and the environment is running very stable.

But I agree that a T2000 is really a catapult, compare to the "old" V890. I 
just don't know how many HBA's and/or NIC's could be installed (from Bus/Slot 
point of fiew) and handled.

Regards

Thorsten

We have a SunFire V890 (old server) with the ixge interface from Sun (10
Gbits) with Data Protector (not Networker).

We have many problems with the performance: The PCI-bus is a bottleneck in this 
machine (66 Mhz 64 bits), and the ixge driver from Sun is very unstable (The 
network interfaces hangs if there packets are dropped, and there is to reboot 
the server).

With newer machines (PCI Express), the performance must be better. I have read 
good experiencies with T2000 machines.
