We had those meetings where the various teams (network, storage, Domino) sat around the table and stated how their bits of the environment were working. The Network guys assured us that it was all working properly at 100Mbs, so we looked at other areas (principally disk) and improved things a bit (enough).<br /><br />Then recently the server hardware was being retired. They had a 24 hour change window, but discovered part way through that it was going to take more than 24 hours to copy the data to the new server: because the NIC was only 10Mbs. (!!)<br /><br />Moral of the story: when you have performance meetings with different teams and they tell you that their part of the environment is working, politely ask them to show you the data/reports that prove it. Don't take their word that they've looked.Anthony Holmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13597824957507867541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994561579739999989.post-16962889875334302962010-02-04T17:09:49.701+02:002010-02-04T17:09:49.701+02:00@David that got me laughing well and good.

Nearly there again - when I went to put the fix pack on the server that runs my blog, among other things, I noticed it's only got 512MB RAM -- for SLES 10 and Domino 8.5.1. Very slow running tasks at startup but no noticeable delays in steady state.David Schafferhttp://bloginprogress.usnoreply@blogger.com
