RE: dual cpu Linux problems
I have Orion running very well on a homebrew rack mount dual PIII 800 box running Redhat 7. (You should upgrade from 6.2 by the way). The box has 2gig DDR Ram, and gigabit Ethernet to a DS3. I have load tested it to the max and not had any failure. I am running Sun's JDK 1.3 for Linux, as it is the most stable I have used so far. I am running Orion 1.4.4 Redhat 6.2 is easily hacked and you should not run it in production. Also I have found the JDK works much better on the newer kernel especially when clustered or SMP. I also have a turbo Linux server cluster with 8 boxes running Orion. While this is just an experiment right now, it really hums!!! If I can work more on it I may just put it into production as the setup should be able run circles around my existing setup. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Rob Lapensee Sent: Friday, November 10, 2000 8:16 AM To: Orion-Interest Subject: dual cpu linux problems Hello all, Has anyone tested Orion with dual CPU on Linux?
