I am trying to evaluate the performance of NFS on the apollo, and I wish to have useful and meaningful performance data. I am interested in any programs which perform nfs-stone-like measurments. Has anyone ported "nhfsstone" to the apollo, or is familiar with similar tools that run on this platform? Thanks. ---- Bill Sayles Network Systems Support bill_sayles@mentorg.com Mentor Graphics

One more quote for the HP-hype: Interoperation and Migration for Domain/OS and
OSF/1:
The version of NFS available in the sr10.4 timeframe will provide
improved interoperability with non-Domain/OS (read snakes) computers
in two areas: network services and performance.
So here they admit to what all we already know:
It's there, and that's all that can be said about it.
I wouldn't expect a great performance, stop correct that,
make it no performance.

Actually, as nhfsstone doesn't run on the server itself, you could use some other box(es) to run it and drive the server on the Apollo. Of course, if all your systems are Apollos then I guess you'd need it to run there (pretty obvious huh - why bother mentioning it ;-) Anyhow, nhfsstone will run on HP-UX (7.0, 8.0, 8.01, 8.05) rather easily. In fact, I have a run going now while I'm reading notes. There are a few things to tweak - such as the kernel being called /hp-ux and not /vmunix, and I think I had to change the name of the nlist variable for the client stats (but it is too late in the PM to remember...). Oh, and switch to the ANSI random functions, and you're off and running. The rest of it seems to be rather portable UN*X code...you can get source from nhfsstone-request@legato.com. rick jones ___ _ ___ |__) /_\ | Richard Anders Jones | HP-UX Networking Performance | \_/ \_/ Hewlett-Packard Co. | "It's so fast, that _______" ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Being an employee of a Standards Company, all Standard Disclaimers Apply
