7467.0. "Prioris ZX 5133 with 3 x DE500 cards - poor performance?" by NNTPD::"[email protected]" (Adrian Moore) Thu Jun 05 1997 02:27

Hi,

Some history and discussion on this issue is in ETHERWORKS & PRIORIS.

A client reports performance problems with 3 x DE500-XA cards in a Prioris
ZX 5133 MP. The server runs NetWare and performs BTRIEVE operations. The
performance problem seems to be tied to the PCI implementation on the ZX and
the fact that there are 3 DE500 NICs. The problem isn't present on an HX
using the same cards, drives and software.

I haven't really got enough for a formal escalation at this point, since they
have pulled the machine from production.

Has anyone seen the likes of this?
