RE: HP K200 and Online 7 -Reply

Thanx for replying We have tried single cpu vp , Multiple cpu (up to six) We did a dbexport from 5 and dbimport into 7. thanx jose ---------------Original Message--------------- Jose's message at the bottom. Jose have you tried running in single CPU mode with mutex locking turned off? (Single CPU VP in onmonitor) Informix claim that the extra overhead in using mutex locking between 2 CPUs is not worth using them both. Also, if you upgraded in situ, as opposed to dbexport/dbimport, you might want to drop and recreate some critical indexing. I have a hunch that these can get tangled up in an in situ upgrade.

Online 7 runs about 400 percent slower than Online 5 up until +- 400 processes. (Confirmed by Informix S.A). Online 7 performance never degraded even when the load went above 400 processes where Online 5 showed a sharp degradation. Unfortunately for us, 400% slower is not acceptable. We are running an HP k200 (dual 100 mhz processors) with about 560 Mb Memory. We have about 260 users at any one time (i.e) Bums in the seat). The processors are not being over loaded, Memory is not being grabbed, there is virtually no swapping. Does the problem lie with Online 7.12 or with HP. Online 5 on the same machine smokes !!!!!. If there is ANYONE out there that can point us in the right direction, I would be etrnally gratefull. thanx Jose ---------------- RTT South Africa ----------End of Original Message---------- ------------------------------------- Name: Jose da Fonseca E-mail: Jose da Fonseca<railit@icon.co.za> Date: 05/23/96 Time: 19:11:00 This message was sent by Chameleon -------------------------------------
