For those with WAN connections and moderate to high I latency the testing we have done preliminarily on Linux boxes looks very  L promising.... if any contractors are intetrested in fast pathing an OpenVMS 6 Freeware version of say Tsunami we might help fund it.       --   ------------------------------    Date: 30 Nov 2005 06:51:28 -0800( From: "denny" <denny_rich@ameritech.net>C Subject: Re: Performance advisor for OpenVMS, (Computer Associates) B Message-ID: <1133362288.258254.17200@g44g2000cwa.googlegroups.com>   Bob,  2 Yes.  Here's my story and I'm sticking to it. (:-)  C We are running with 2gb memory/box. About 1200 processes (total per D box), of which 525 are in LEFO.  Users typically log in up to 4 or 5E times in the AM, in different functions, and then really use only one C of those screens most of the day. That LEFO number scared me in the F beginning until I realized there was no swapping activity to speak of.  F We tolerate this because the INSWAP rate has been 0 to very small, andC hard page faults have been 0 to 10% of the total page faulting (ie: G modified and free page lists are doing their jobs well). But we are "on  the edge" with memory.  E On Nov 19, we went production with a new application (actually a port D to the ES45 from an ancient 2100 cluster). This added some amount ofG load to the system.  In additon, we know these new, ported screens will D be used about 30% of the time rather than logged into in the morningG and never used. Hence, I was concerned about swapping.....if we see it, ' we go to management and ask for memory.   C Also, the COM queue indicates we might want to consider adding more A processor cards here, but so far job run times are so spectacular C (compared to the olden-days: VAX and Alpha2100) that no one is even * dreaming of complaining about performance.  C We have been live for 11 days now, and the system is still behaving D pretty much OK.  COM queue is up some but not higher than 8 and thenE only for brief spikes. Average is 1.5. Disk throughput is spectacular C (EMC fiber SAN). And I'm looking into the swapping which is up, but & does not seem to be outrageous (yet?).  C As Garrison Keeler says, "And that's the news from Lake Woebegone."    regards,   denny    ------------------------------    Date: 30 Nov 2005 11:46:47 -0600; From: koehler@eisner.nospam.encompasserve.org (Bob Koehler) C Subject: Re: Performance advisor for OpenVMS, (Computer Associates) 3 Message-ID: <tMA8ct7tuM9p@eisner.encompasserve.org>   m In article <1133362288.258254.17200@g44g2000cwa.googlegroups.com>, "denny" <denny_rich@ameritech.net> writes:  > Bob, > 4 > Yes.
