Clustering Enterprise Edition
Posted: Fri Mar 30, 2007 9:00 pm
Hi All,
I am interested in configuring a clustered DS environment. We have out grown our 4x box and the 8x + boxes that my company has recently purchased are all 64 bit Hardware. We are tied to Linux, so upgrading to 64 bit DS is not an option.
I have read the px guide and as I understand it, you install the Parallel Engine on a second box and ensure that the project osh scripts exists on the second box or that their is a NFS mount to the primary ETL server. But I have a few questions:
Are there any details that are not adequately explained in the px guide?
Has anyone had success running this type of evironment?
Are there any 'gotchas' that I should be aware of?
Do I sacrafice reliability and up time for additional processing power?
We are running Linux RH 3.0 OS on Engenera Blades.
Thanks in Advance for your input, it is greatly appreciated.
