So we use a F760 for compiling our software....it's a demanding environment, and up until now, NetApp systems have been adequate for us
As I've been refining our build process though, I've continuing optimizing it to the point the 760 may become our bottleneck. It seems to be running at about 50-60% of CPU most of the time, with peaks like:
CPU NFS CIFS HTTP Net kB/s Disk kB/s Tape kB/s Cache in out read write read write age 98% 4243 6 0 6365 7367 10648 15352 0 0 3 74% 4515 1 0 11902 8348 3592 44 0 0 3 100% 4644 2 0 9472 11021 7763 8088 0 0 3 88% 4307 0 0 9223 9463 7023 10938 0 0 3 100% 5606 0 0 8870 9185 6048 11368 0 0 3 75% 4884 4 0 8622 13913 4032 2432 0 0 3 100% 5717 6 0 6777 10372 6700 11488 0 0 3
I don't knwo when I need to worry....so I have two questions:
What stats will cue me into a problem related to overload? What are the limits of CPU/Net/Disk use I should stay under?
Provided I find a way to drive an F760 into the ground, any suggestions for a next step?
