Thanks to all who responded.

We aren't re-using the same machine but it's still nice to know we would 
experience a 30-40% drop if we were.  Looks like we may have to tune the 
virtual machine to minimize the performance drop... but I'm not at all sure how 
to estimate how much it will be.

Re: [U2] Virtualizing a Universe server of 100+ users

2012-08-22 Thread Rex Gozar
We don't virtualize a single machine with 100+ users, but we do
virtualize several uv machines on a single physical server with 100
users spread across them.  From this experience, it is the disk speed
that is the critical factor that impacts performance.  We have 10K rpm
disks with 64MB cache; the virtual machines "feel" very responsive
even when running demanding queries or batch jobs across all the vm's
simultaneously.

Where most sql systems work better with higher throughput, uv systems
seem to like better random access (disk) performance.  Choose your
disk drives based on both factors.  And yes, a vm will perform slower
than a bare metal installation, so make sure you are not compounding
the problem by using slower disk drives.

Measure the number of disk I/O's per second, as well as read and write
transfer rates per second during peak usage.  You will probably need
some sort of RAID configuration to spread the workload across several
disks to achieve your required performance.

Hi Eric,

Be prepared for a significant performance drop compared to a bare metal 
machine. Similar results to what Manu posted our experience has been a 30% to 
40% drop of performance. That is if you compare Virtual vs non virtual on the 
same machine.

We tried to get VM Ware specialist to performance tune the virtual machine but 
could not get anywhere. I think it is a limitation to the disk block size 
configuration in VMWare. The minimum size you can set is 1MB.

I would also be interested to hear from others what type of performance they 
get out of a VMWare Universe server.

Bear in mind uv/net comes from the old INFORMATION network product.

And as far as Pr1mes were concerned, unless you were an admin it was
tricky to know whether a file was remote or not - there was no clue in
the file name.

One of my favourite war stories along those lines is the user who wanted
to test a tape drive - so she asked it to back up a disk pack over a
9600 modem.

hi,

Badly knowed, UV/NET  is a embedded client server module which work over unirpc 
system.

Then when a uv system open a remote uv file ; uv/net start (if not already 
established) a uv session on the remote server.

On remote uv "uvlictool", "port-status", "list-readu" reports uv/net session 
like phantoms session.

Then when uv system READ/WRITE on the remote file, UVNet send a "request" to do 
it by the remote session.
Locks (group and record) are maintined on the remote server linked to the uv 
net phantom session.

UVNET module must be licensed on uv remote system only (where files are 
adressed).

a uv subr is provided to launch a uv/basic on the remote uv ; most powerfull 
vs. select/readnext/read on a remote file.

Yes, UV/NET is a good way to network UNIVERSE systems.

I saw a UNIVERSE job site recently have networked UV systems WITHOUT
using UV/NET. They used the networking built into the OS (Windows or
UNIX). Sounds good, right?

Not until you realize that there was no record locking because the OS
had no concept of a UNIVERSE record. It also didn't allow you to file
away the record. If you pulled up a record on one system, and then
pulled it up on the other, there would be no message and no lock.

You can use UV/NET and a file pointer with the '!' designator to specify
the system and it works well (record locking, etc.).

There's an example of how the path is formed in the help file.

ORION!/u1/filename

This example is shown if you type HELP BASIC SYSTEM() .

Another example:

OPEN "ORION!/u1/user/file" TO FU.ORIONFILE

You can type HELP BASIC TIMEOUT to see this info.

You can see all of the info in the UV/NET II guide on Rocket's website.

Almost but there is still the possibility of the "remote" system reading a 
group for which the "local" system has a group write lock and is changing 
pointers.

I have in the past spent many happy hours fixing UV files where a client had 
accessed the same file from two system using a Unix mounted drive to access the 
remote file.

It's worse than that. There is no group level locking which protects the 
pointers that link the internal structure of groups. Without group locks, the 
chances of corrupting a file are very high. Not just losing records but losing 
the structural integrity of the file.

Re: [U2] Virtualizing a Universe server of 100+ users

2012-08-21 Thread Manu Fernandes
hi,

we have done it with a 150 uv Enterprise edition, we run +- 3 sessions per user 
+ UV/Net access.

database specs :
- 65GB, we use mostly DEFINE.DF vs 65BIT files

applications type
- SB+ / SBClient on telnet
- UV/Net is running ; we share another uv for "wharehouse" activity

hardware setting
- dell 12 proc, 256 GB ram
- SAN on SCSI

vmware setting
- ESX
- 4 processor dedicated
- 128 GB RAM

os setting
- Redhat Enterprise


-
regarding a pure hardware system, same config, we loose 30% of perf.

then we push the memory larger the database, Linux push the complete DB on 
cache an we have a very powerfull system.
