Maximizing the activity monitor just puts the topology map into the
background, because it still takes way to long to refresh.
I do have a ticket open with Veritas support to see if there is a way to
disable this useless "feature", hopefully something will come out of it.
I wonder what other people are doing with this, or are we the only shop
with slow wan links between media servers?
I wish they would have kept xbpadm around, or at least a Java console for
windows.
Thanks
Lowell

It looks like the difference is the slow wan links between master and
media servers.
Have you tried closing the topology windows for Activity Monitor and
Device Monitor, as mentioned in the previous e-mail, and then
refreshing... just curious if that makes a difference.

Hi Scott, how big is your environment? Do you have a mixture of Media
servers? We have 6 AIX Media Servers, and 14 Windows 2000 Media Servers.
The 14 Windows Media Servers are spread all over the place connected with
slow wan links. It seems that everytime I refresh all or move between
device monitor and activity monitor it take a ridiculously long amount of
time (50 minutes or more). It is like it tries to go out to every media
server and grab it's status, redrawing the topology map, or something!
We didn't have these issues with 3.4, but then again I used the xbpadm.
The Java GUI runs fine (as long as I don't use Hummingbird Exceed), it is
lightning fast compared to the windows GUI.
I found this on the support site, it looks like I'm not the only one, I'm
not sure if that is good or bad.

"50 minutes..."!!! I hope that was supposed to be 5. Even so, that's a
long time. 50 is ridiculous. If that's the case, I say throw out that
2400 baud modem and get cable internet or stop trying to open it from home
:-)
to get rid of the topology map in any of the windows, you have a little
icon in the top right corner of each window on the right side. it will
either be a maximize icon, or if you're already maximized, a split icon to
go back to 2 windows. click on the maximize icon for the one you want and
the other goes away.
I'm not sure if doing it this way helps performance, but I don't like the
topology window so I don't use it. It does seem a little faster when you
don't use the topology, but I have never actually timed the two to see the
difference.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Upgraded to 4.5
Hi Everyone, we just upgraded our environment from 3.4 to 4.5. So far I'm
very disappointed by the performance of the Java GUI and the Windows
Remote Administration Console.
I think the performance problem for the Windows Remote Admin Console is
caused by the topology map the GUI draws. The GUI takes about 50 minutes
to start the activity monitor and the devices monitor, but everything else
responds ok. These two areas have the topology map in common, does
anyone know how to disable this topology "feature"? Or are we stuck with
it?
Thanks
Lowell
