Ang: [ADSM-L] Check signals on Power vs. x86...

2011-10-07 Thread Daniel Sparrman
Well, I have customers running both AIX and RHEL, and my experience this far is that AIX still outperforms RHEL on I/O performance. It might be that the systems running AIX usually have more expensive/higher performance equipment connected to them than their RHEL counterpart. I also prefer the

Yes, it is. There are very few things I would say this about, but this is one of 'em. For a RHEL box to match the performance capabilities it would have to be installed on Power as well (which it can be). I think the evidence I've seen both in experience and raw numbers has shown the power

Re: Label volumes in a scsi library?

How did tape Q0 get into the library? Did you manually load a batch of tapes in this library without checking them in thru the bulk I/O? If that is the case, you can just checkin the tapes. You can try: Check in volumes that are already labeled: checkin libvolume NAS_QI6000 search=yes

I think he was looking for Power vs x86 in price/performance. I.E If you spend 50K on Power systems and 50K on x86 systems. which could produce more I/O throughput. (If not, that's what I'd like to hear an update on) From what I remember from previous discussions, x86/linux would come out on

The paradigm has shifted quite a bit since the hey-day of AIX systems. Back then, you would custom configure a substantial AIX system, and require premium service from IBM, with fast response from them. RS/6000s were renowned for reliability, though, with very few core system problems (most

Roger Before running the DELete VOLHistory with FORCE=YES, try running an AUDIT LIBRary LIBE CHECKLabel=Barcode from the library client. Perversely, it doesn't report the discrepancies it discovers in the activity log on either the library client or the library manager (at least on v5.5), but

Must not have been clear. Sorry about that. For every 1 proc or core of Power you would need 4 or more of x86 (even at their best level). I have seen the numbers from Intel comparing Newer x86 processors to Power6 and they are just below the Power 6 (using 2x's the number of cores). The
