346.0. "Shadowing on FDDI cluster..." by MSAM00::ONGKIENHIN () Tue Mar 18 1997 22:36

    Hi,
    
    My customer is running OpenVMS AXP 6.2-1h3 FDDI cluster and shadowing with 
    the following configuration:
    
    	------------             ------------------             ----------
        |           |DEFEA-AA ---|FDDI Concentrator| ---DEFAA-DA|        |
        | AS2000    |		 ------------------             |DEC4710 |
        |           |		------	FDDI  ------		|	 |
    	| 256MB	    |DE422-SA --|900EF|-------|900EF|---Ethernet|256MB	 |
        |	    |	      -	------	      ------		|	 |
	|___________	     |					_________
                             |

        Quorum node
    
    Previously, they were having DEC4710 instead of Alphaserver2000 which
    is using the DEFEA-AA(EISA FDDI). They experience slower shadow copying
    between the two system. Is there any system parameter that can speed up
    the shadow copying? How can I determine that the shadow copying and
    cluster communication run over FDDI instead of ethernet?
    
    Thks.

Hmm, do any of numbers below look funny?
