Hi!
I would like to know is the Revelation NLM 1.1 SMP aware.
Our server is Digital Prioris LX 5166 with 64MB of
RAM and RAID 1 system disk of 4 GB running Netware
4.11. After we installed NLM, the acctual performance
has dropped and during the intensive data processing (payrun)
we have processor utilization of 60-70% average. Since there
is enough memory available (2/3 of original cache buffers),
I think that we might get better performance with installation
of another Pentium processor. This server is mirrored to a
standby server with 100Mb FDX link, so certain percentage of
utilization is due to synchronization traffic.
If Revelation NLM is not SMP aware, the better thing to
do is to upgrade the existing processor with faster one.
Thank you.
