3343.0. "Account limit ?" by ANGLIN::HARRISA (hooked on DAVE) Wed Sep 29 1993 20:14

    ALL-In-1 3.0-1, VMS 5.5-2
    
    Is there any limit as to the number of ALL-IN-1 accounts on a system.
    
    customer has a 3node cluster consisting of:
    
    	6000-620
    	6000-530
    	6000-410
    
    with approximatly 2800 ALL-IN-1 users.  should they be thinking of more 
    hardware (another node) or limiting the creation of ALL-IN-1 accounts?
    
    	thanks -ann

	Hi Ann, >Is there any limit as to the number of ALL-IN-1 accounts on a system. Are we talking about the number of registered ALL-IN-1 users ? If so I don't think so. If we are talking about concurrent users than it depends on a number of factors such as: 1. I doubt it that you have all 2,800 odd users logged in at the same time. Unless you know it's the case and suprise us. 2. How much memory do they have on the systems ? 3. What do they expect as reasonable response times ? 4. Are more users going to be registered and therefore the load increased in the longer term ? There are many questions to be asked. >should they be thinking of more hardware (another node) or limiting the >creation of ALL-IN-1 accounts? I don't think the creation of ALL-IN-1 accounts is the issue but the number of concurrent users. So of our large customer sites that have around about the same number of users registered and typically have between 400 to 700 users logged on have upgraded to the Alph ready machines namely the 7000's. The customer had 9000's and 6000's these were replaced for two main reasons they wanted better price performance and the ability to upgrade the hardware to the Alpha platform. The upgrade path is very attractive to the customers as they are not throwing away their investment. The customers here have felt that the 7000's are an option that offers them today's technology at an affordable price with an upgrade to tomorrows technology requiring only a change to the 7000 configuration.

    Hi Ann,

    Are we talking about the number of registered ALL-IN-1 users ?  If so I
    don't think so.  If we are talking about concurrent users than it
    depends on a number of factors such as:
    
    1. I doubt it that you have all 2,800 odd users logged in at the same
       time.  Unless you know it's the case and suprise us.
    
    2. How much memory do they have on the systems ?
    
    3. What do they expect as reasonable response times ?
    
    4. Are more users going to be registered and therefore the load
       increased in the longer term ?
       
    There are many questions to be asked.
