Just an off hand question.
I now have my T5220 servers in full operation and have decommissioned
the E250's they replaced. Backups are noticeably faster now. What I'm
wondering is the following. The T5220's have 8 core with 8 threads per
core as well as 8 encryption accelerators that are tied into the ssl
libraries. They easily run a higher work load with head room to spare.
If I bumped up the inparallel (it is currently 4), the T5220's would be
quite happy with that. One of them has 86 drive partitions hanging off
it as well as an iSCSI array configured with ZFS. However, I don't want
to stress out any of the older servers that are still running, some on
hardware never meant to be servers.
I take it there aren't any nuances to the inparallel configuration?
hmm. I'm using spindle names in my disklist. I suppose I could juggle
that to limit parallel dumping on some servers, while cranking up the
global setting. Comments? Suggestions?
