[mod.computers.vax] VAXcluster's field performance

dyoung%hplabsc@HPLABS.ARPA (Dennis Young) (06/06/86)

I am looking for some field performance data on the VAXcluster.
Has anybody done such analysis or know of any reference?
The kind of questions I have are:

	What is your VAXcluster configuration?
	Which version of VMS?
	What is the loading behavior of each CPU?
	What is the I/O behavior of each HSC, disk?
	What is the performance of the CI interconnect such as:
		the bandwidth utilization?
		the average packet size?
		% of file access on local/HSC/another CPU?
		any major bottle-neck or area of concern?
	What is the reliability of the CI, the distributed VMS?
	Are you satisfied with the amount of security provided?
	
I would really appreciate your response, and thank you in advance.
