Initially we had one U80 and added couple of sun blade 100s and SB 1000. We are looking to expand further by adding a network file server. To justify the requirement for a large server which could cost us $50k+ we need to justify the need for it. We concluded that disk/network load would be our bottleneck, as we will have several engineers checking in/out design databases and running simulations etc. For our current server I would like to measure load on the disk and network usage. Using these statistics I can justify the reason for a need for a larger better server. Can someone tell me how to go about doing this? Are there any software/commands, which I use to help get the statistics I need? I am new to UNIX administration and have no relevant background in this area. _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Tue Apr 9 08:31:46 2002
