We did exactly this for our DB servers (and left them there) and tested it with 1 fileserver for a bit. Your best bet is to quantify "current slow" with data, then stand up a few test VMs (2core, 4core, various fileserver params) and gather their performance data under the same tests. Unfortunately, our fileservers are still left on the old Suns while we figure out whether or not we're willing to stoop to XFS on RHEL (support contract, known choice of OS) or add complexity to our world by using OmniOS or FreeBSD to retain ZFS. -- Jeff Blaine kickflop.net PGP/GnuPG Key ID: 0x0C8EDD02 _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
