I need advice on Provider-1
we currently have P-1 NG FP3 running on Solaris
with about 500+ CMAs spanning across 5 different
containers. In our environment, we have two MDS
managers and five MDS containers. We do not have
any MLM in our NG FP3 deployment.
The log on the firewalls is being sent to the CMA.
Some of the customers that we have a LOT of logs.
Some of the CMAs average about 5Gig of logs a day.
we rotate the log every 4 hours. We also have
script to zip up the log for these customers and
move them of the log directory. They only have
5 days worth of log in the CMA $FWDIR/log directory.
However, that still translates into 25GB of logs.
Problem is that everynow and then, the CMA for one
of these customers just stops working beyond repair
and the only way to fix it is to restore from
backup.
We're going to move these customers to P-1 NGx
R61 soon and in our NGx R61 environment, we do not
have MLM in our design and it worries me that
we are going to repeat the same problem.
My question is this: when is it a good idea to get
a separate MLM to to store log for these customers?
What is the threshold that will justify in purchasing
separate MLM Servers? You're talking hardware cost
in addition to Checkpoint license.
thank you.
