431.0. "DECmcc Hardware platform configuration guidelines?" by CCIIS1::ROGGEBAND () Fri Oct 26 1990 09:42

    Hello,
    
    There is a question which keeps coming up from customers and concerns
    performance / hardware requirements for DECmcc. A typical question is
    "what configuration do I need to manage a 50 node network", or "how
    many asynchronous events will DECmcc be able to manage per second on a
    3100 ?" etc...
    
    Are there any configuration guidelines available ? 
    
    Thanks for your help,
    
    Philippe.

	Suggested Minimum Hardware

	--VAXstation 3100 M38, SPX w/VRT19
	--Ethernet controller
	--20-Mbyte memory
	--RZ56 (665-Mbyte) disk drive
	--TZ30 ( 95-Mbyte) tape drive

	We are  working with the DSTEG organization to get hard numbers
	on actual performance.  When we feel confortable  that they are
	accurate, they will be made available to those who  would  like
	to see them.

	Based upon current testing and some common sense, you should be
	able to manage "hundreds"  on nodes on this above system.  This
	of course assumes that polling  rates for alarms and historical
	data collection are "reasonable" and that alarms fires are also
	"reasonable".  This also assumes that DECmcc  is  all  that  is
	running.

   Can anyone recommend the best configuration for the MSU on a RISC platform?

    Alex, 
    
    APPLE::MSU might be a better place for DECmcc MSU system size
    questions.
