2358.0. "Hardware requirements for DECmcc on ULTRIX" by SIOG::TINNELLY (Next village America..) Tue Feb 18 1992 06:48

    
    Hello Folks,
    
    I have just finished a demo to the Department of Defence. As it was
    difficult for us to know whether to propose MSU or DECmcc we decided to
    demo both products and let the customer decide which platform best
    suited their requirements. The outcome was that they got extremely
    excited about DECmcc (on ULTRIX).  
    In order to get them to sign the order I have some further meetings
    with the customer. The initial issue that I need to resolve is how to
    size the hardware. Is there a SPD available for DECmcc on ULTRIX.What
    are the minimum hardware requirements??
    
    Are there hardware issues that should be taken into account now, should
    they decide at a later date to migrate to OSF/1?? 
    
    REGARDS peter.

2358.1	a few pointers...	BSYBEE::EGOLF	John C. Egolf LKG2-2/T02 x226-7874	`Tue Feb 18 1992 12:18`	10
	Contact Steve Lane for the current SPD and related docs. Directory BSYBEE::DUA0:[PUBLIC] V12_BMS_SPD_DRAFT.TXT V12_DIR_PROD_FAMILY_DRAFT.TXT V12_DIR_SPD_DRAFT.TXT V12_SALES_UPDATE_DRAFT.TXT NETU292.PS (Contains min hardware for VMS and ULTRIX)
2358.2	Be careful of quoting bare minimum systems	TOOK::MINTZ	Erik Mintz, DECmcc Development, dtn 226-5033	`Tue Feb 18 1992 13:40`	7
	But please be aware that the minimum requirements are for minimum functionality. As you increase the load on the system (more alarm rules, more historical recording, etc) you will want more disk space, and especially more memory, in order to maintain performance. -- Erik
2358.3	Min config = Late nights	SIOG::TINNELLY	Next village America..	`Wed Feb 19 1992 05:00`	12
	Many thanks for the pointers. I agree on the point re min config., from experience I would never propose a bare minimum configuration. You generally end up with an unhappy customer and lots of headaches. It would be useful if some table existed to help field specialists configure DECmcc.eg small network 10 nodes requires the following hardware, medium sized network requires... If the configurations of the Field tests sites were entered and sizes of networks being managed was inputted here, and how they performed, would be very usefeul info. regards Peter
