Has anybody out there ever tried scaling up a cfengine server (v2.1 or v2.2) on a really big, fast server? I'm thinking on the order of 4 sockets, 24 cores, and a 10Gbit NIC.
This is to support a particularly massive (and temporary) flood of cfagent requests to synchronize their local policy. It's going to be a lot easier to scale the server up in this case rather than adjust the policy to distribute requests to multiple cfservd's. So what's the experience out there? Can cfservd scale up and keep 10Gbit of bandwidth busy? Can it utilize 24 cores? Will it fall over or thrash on internal locks trying to run that many threads? -- Paul Krizak 7171 Southwest Pkwy MS B200.3A MTS Systems Engineer Austin, TX 78735 Advanced Micro Devices Desk: (512) 602-8775 Linux/Unix Systems Engineering Cell: (512) 791-0686 Global IT Infrastructure Fax: (512) 602-0468 _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
