Hi, A customer considers migrating from VCS to Polycenter Console Manager and at the same time extend the number of monitored systems to more than 64. They intend to use a VAXsation 4000-60 for this purpose, and wonder about memory requirements. I realize no hard figures can be given, because it all depends on the usage. Does any of you have any experience with monitoring more than 64 nodes? Will a 4000-60 be fast enough. Any estimates for the amount of memroy required? Any comments will be welcome Dik Docter

There is a note very early on in the conference (before 20.*) that
gives you memory requirements.
as for processor speed, well it depends on how much work you want it to
do, but my gut feel is that for a system that is not overloaded (that
is a lot of console activity) 64 would be the maximum you want to go
to. Usualy this will be more than adequate, but you have to remember
that with Console Manager, you have to capacity plan for worst case
scenarios - which is when you usualy need a console manager!

By all means use the recommendations earlier in the conference (Note 7.1). Be aware however, that we can happily manage more than 64 systems on a 4000-60, we have done so ourselves with just such a system (it has 80Mb memory). Only when we start to run the interactive components (most notably the C3) does performance suffer because those interfaces are the most memory hungry, notice I said memory, because in all our testing, we have never really run out of CPU. So, if you are sizing, concentrate on Memory and IO (number of logging spindles). Cheers, Phil | |||||
