Hi
As this list consists of many Digital UNIX system managers, I would like
to seek different advice for troubleshooting, planning and implementing
expansion of Digital UNIX system.
My questions are as follows :
1. As there can be many possible causes for the slowness, such as
network bottleneck, memory, I/O, what are the most accurate method to
determine which is the greatness contribution to the system slowness.
2. Is there any technology in Digital to distribute the system load
across more than one server ? I heard that Digital has got the
AdvantageCluster technology but it is not available yet.
3. Beside distributing the system load across servers to improve the
sytem performance, is there any other methods of improving system
performance.
4. What can be the possible cause of a network bottleneck ? For
example, the telnet application uses tcp to establish connection and
provide the data transfer mechanism, is there any limitation on the data
transfer.
5. Is there any limitation on the ethernet card of the DEC server ?
Since this ethernet card is the interface between the server and the
network, I am suspecting that this could be one of the network bottleneck.
6. How to resolve I/O bottleneck in Digital UNIX and server ?
Well, I would also like to hear any other opinions on system management
which I might have missed out in this mail.
Thank you.
Have a nice day.
