Not to beat a dead horse, but one last question to round this off:

How much memory are you allocating to the repcached daemon on each box ?
(testing repcached right now... Are you monitoring that by chance with eg. 
cacti ?)

Thanks,

Johan

  I believe we allocate 1024mb though we don't really need that much (the 
machines have like 8 gb or more).  One thing we did find was that one of the 
two machines was running out of address space so we had to switch to the 64-bit 
JVM from the 32-bit.  Not sure why it was happening exactly, and only to one 
machine.

    Scott,
        How much memory are you allocating for each of your CAS instances i.e. 

    -Xmx 
    -Xms
     -Xmn

    Thanks,

    Hanh

    Here's some basics.  This is the statistics for one machine (so double 
would be our daily, approx):

    March 31, 2009
    TOTAL AUTHENTICATIONS: 47354

    PER HOUR (00 == midnight, for the non 24-hour inclined):
    1711 00
    1043 01
     639 02
     339 03
     213 04
     179 05
     288 06
     659 07
    1485 08
    2422 09
    2860 10
    3254 11
    3239 12
    3199 13
    3042 14
    3042 15
    2777 16
    2417 17
    2446 18
    2320 19
    2422 20
    2634 21
    2529 22
    2195 23

    These are just authentications, not proxying, service tickets, etc.  On a 
normal day (which these stats are), you could barely even tell the machine was 
doing anything.  I think normal usage is < 5% CPU utilization each on the new 
machines.

    I can get other stats if you're interested.  Our portal is what drives most 
of our traffic to CAS.

      Scott,
      could you give an idea of how many authenticated users you have ?
      (Is there a way to monitor that with the regular memcache, or repcache 
ticket registries ?)

      We are current plannin on rolling our for the fall semester at 
Thunderbird, and are looking at scoping hardware also... We will run on Linux 
(CentOS) with Tomcat6

      (This probably pales in comparison to you, but we have about 1000 regular 
students, and our alumni are active also, with about 3-5000 on most days.)

      thanks,

      Johan

        The T5120 specs (I don't remember our exact config):
        http://www.sun.com/servers/coolthreads/t5120/

        The V240 specs:
        http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/v240/

        We also at one point used a Sun V120, which is a single CPU machine 
(yikes!)

          What were the system specs on your V240 and T5120?

            Are there any established doc on system requirements (CPU, memory, 
etc) for running CAS server specifically with cluster and JPA ticket 
replication? I'm targeting CAS3 on Linux. Does anyone have specs on their 
stable Production environment that they can list?  

          It all depends on your load.

          We used to run a single CAS server (with a warm spare), with the 
machine being Sun's V240 without any problems for the most part.  It started to 
have some issues during peak registration period, reaching > 80% CPU 
utilization.  We now run two Sun T5120's which during the same peak web 
registration period each run at < 10% CPU utilization (we're running repcached 
on them, not JPA).
