It certainly is. If there's something we don't like about them, we should be open to discussing it here (or on their own forums, although this is more independent). Let's just say they're not on my favorite vendor list with their 6.5 upgrade... And yeah, I know they're listening/reading but I'm not telling them anything they don't already know. As for StorageConsole creating load on the master, of course that's going to be true. You can't do the work any other way. Getting back to the original poster, a v440 with 16GB of RAM managing 60 media/SAN media servers sounds like it's way underpowered to me. I believe this server was released over 5 years ago... You'd probably be able to roll in a T2000 with way more power and pay for it on the first year maintenance costs alone. .../Ed -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tharp, > Trey > Sent: Monday, April 28, 2008 11:49 PM > To: Sponsler, Michael; veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu > Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] bpdbm acting wacky -- NB 6.0 MP5 > > The bpdbm parent process spawns a child for just about everything it > does.
