Hi,
We seem to be hitting perfromance problems doing hosting of our mainframe (OS390 & Unisys) machines on our Solaris host server.
For those of you unfamiliar with BMC Patrol MQ architecture, one Patrol Agent on a supported platform (Unix,NT, etc) can host one or more "unsupported" machines using an intermediate program running on the mainframe.
Well, looks like we're overdoing it - we've got 13 (unlucky for some) mainframe hosts connect to a dual-CPU E4000 box, which is dedicated for Patrol use. We have several thousand objects to monitor, and we seem to be hitting time and CPU constraints, as well as the overhead of one giant history file building up.
BMC have suggested things like filtering, and reducing the number queues to monitor, which doesn't seem like a solution 
Another solution is to reinstall the product several times on the same box, but to different directories. Then run several Patrol Agents. Messy.
Has anybody done a similar thing in terms of number of hosts on their server? |

Hi Don,
It's a bit like the question how long is a bit of string. depending on how many qmgrs + objects you have in them, it could take some time till the PatrolAgent gets back with all the results. This ofcourse will cause some performance degradation on the nodes that are connecting to the remote hosts, especially if you have to discover thousands of objects with the same qmgr...you know what I mean. Rule of thumb, try to spread the connection load to 2/3 agents. You'd probably see that the performance degradation on the machine will not "feel" the same as it would on 1 Patrol Agent. Let me know how you got on. |
