No place to put it in the rack. these are blades. But they do have 3 Cisco bricks with their own private pathway between them so I can connect each server to a local switch. > if your logs are enough to interfere with other traffic, something's wrong. > but perhaps you don't look at your logs as much as I do (which is why > I want them coalesced.) Too many nodes and not enough time, and I mostly manage by exception. If it is running well I don't want to have to keep an eye on it. We have a daemon that collects information on each node and keeps an eye on the local log file. Then we have capture the serial console into a log file. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Want to start your own business? Learn how on Yahoo!
