I have had both windows and AIX masters.
I like AIX better (could be some favoritism
here as I am an AIX admin), I boot the server less often. Had to boot the
windows master a little more then I liked.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup
Master server hardware - Solaris
I am Interested in asking the community
thier opinions for what hardware platform works best for master only netbackup
servers.
We currently are running our master in a
master media configuration (with two additional media servers) and it is time
to refresh the master server hardware.
I am going to be performing some tests to
benchmark some of the hardware we may use for a replacement master only server.
for this i am also interested in some of the tests i can run to give an
indication of the server performance.
I was thinking of restoing the catalogue
to the test hardware and timing some of the more intensive commands such as
bpimmedia and bplist. does anybody have other or perhaps even better
suggestions ?.
I'll post results as i complete tests
tests if anybody is interested.
At the moment it looks like i'll get to
test the Sun M300, T5220 and one of the new Intel Nehalem systems.
