Re: Transaction logging. -- DOMINO400

They are wrong about that. In a quick search of the Domino 8.5 forum at
devWorks, I found 2 IBMers who also said that DAOS is just server-only and
that clients don't need to be upgraded.

Now that's not what they told us. "Domino 6 and 7 clients will not
recognize DAOS."
Presentation: Upgrading to Notes and Domino 8.5
Section: Principle #1 - Planning
Slide: Understand Co-existence Issues if going from Domino 6.5 to Domino
8.x
Last bullet on slide: "Domino 6 and 7 clients will not recognize DAOS."

I could pick some poor dumb SOB and convert their archive to use DAOS and
see if they can still get to their attachments.
Back up plan would be they'd better quickly take the mandatory on line
training so they can get permission to upgrade their client to 8.5.

Clients don't have to be upgraded. It's transparent to them.

Really looking forward to DAOS. Have to get all those clients upgraded
first.

You don't need to do anything different as long as your disk drives

aren't

already experiencing usage/utilization problems. IIRC, Walter said

you'll

see about a 3% hit by starting transaction logging, but you'll probably
recoup that once you setup DAOS and see the reduced I/O overhead that it
will likely bring.

Went to an IBM & Partner intro to 8.5 last week. One of the new

options

we may look at requires transaction logging be fired up. Most of the

time

when I hear about transaction logging it makes me think of something
primarily run in a lab or on a test machine. Because, they mention
keeping your data on one drive and your transaction logs on another

drive.

Well, my machine has ninety disk drives. All Raid 5 protected. Does

it

really make sense to put the transaction log on dedicated disk? On

the

i

that would involve Auxiliary Storage Pools or ASPs. In theory I could
have two ASPs: Main data in one and transaction logging in the other.

I

can't imagine it would take more than a few 70gb disks to do

transaction

logging.
Raid sets smaller than 4 drives are known to have serious performance
implications. Technically you can do a 3 drive raid set, but unless

the

customer is just migrating from a S/36 they will notice the

performance

hit versus a 4 drive (or more) set.

Is this separate disk stuff recommended on a "real" os?
Do I need a full RAID set in an ASP?
