RE: [U2] IPv6

2007-05-09 Thread John Jenkins
IPv6 will be a non issue for most even if the potential for problems exists. When introduced I am sure you will find that internal subnets will still run IPv4 with bridges and an appropriate netmask e.g. 255.255.255.255.0.0. Regards JayJay --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.

That's a general recommendation and holds true in most circumstances with a reasonable load. As always it is subject to variation depending on the local configuration and usage. Another recommendation I would make is to turn off read-ahead on SANs. This is not best suited to random access (as per

UniVerse instances will run on discrete nodes in a cluster quite happily - it is not however cluster aware. So - UniVerse will not specifically make use of cluster resources, it will however make use of the file system in whichever way you present it (just ignoring any cluster-specific). You can

On Unix you should have created a specific user ID to administer RedBack/WebDE - on Windows it runs as a service so - yes, it's the user i0. I *think* it's "system" on Windows but won't swear to that - fairly easy to check. The user is a non-interactive user but watch you don't trip up on PHANTOMs

For the older versions of RedBack that was a standing recommendation: Set the GC purging criteria to something reasonable, but the interval sky high to "run never". Then run REDBACK.GC from a PHANTOM, crontab or Windows scheduler (whichever suits). Other standing advice: 1. Set WWSTATE to large

The problem is IIS itself: IIS Session Variables are thread-locked to the specific IIS thread on which they were instantiated. For an example: It is a quiet time of day, and 500 people access the IIS web server (running ASP) and the ASP uses session objects. The session objects are stored on the

I'd recommend installing UniVerse on a static file system on each server independently. Your data files are on a mountable file system on the RAID or SAN. Safe / robust - and it would avoid some of the issues you may hit with the new UniVerse licensing model in 10.2. Please check whether you need
