460.0. "Search list logicals and moving files to ESE20s" by CHGV04::PROCTOR (How 'bout those Cubs...) Thu Apr 09 1992 21:27

    
    I am working with a customer with 2 ESE20s trying to
    determine what ALL-IN-1 files to move. I think I have a pretty
    good handle on that from analyzing VPA hot files data and
    looking in the documentation and the old notes conference.
    
    Here is my question. Can I set up a search list logical,
    like 
    
    $ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXEC ALLIN1$DISK ESE20$DISK,DISK10
    
    and ALLIN1$DISK is what is in A1CONFIG.DAT. If I move a few
    ALL-IN-1 directories like OA$LIB over, will I run into any problems?
    I tried a simulation on my internal workstation with moving OA$IMAGE
    to a search list and did not have any problems but I though I'd
    ask.
    
    Thanks,
    Jerry
    
    PS It looks like I could move [ALLIN1...] to an ESE20 (except for the
    shared mail areas) and it would fit on an ESE20. Any comments?

460.1ESE20 commentsIOSG::DAVISMark DavisFri Apr 10 1992 12:0826
    
    
       I can't answer your first question. The comments I would make about 
       putting all of [ALLIN1...] on an ESE20 are:-
    
       There are some directories that are hardly ever touched such as those 
       defined by OA$BUILD, OA$DO, OA$SCP, OA$BLP and possibly the CBI 
       directories. It would seem reasonable not to put these on the ESE20.
    
       Within the directories that are touched it is only a minority of files 
       that will be accessed - you will have seen this from the VPA hotfiles. 
       I don't know whether it is possible to separate these out from their 
       directories. 
    
       There are some system files that are recommended to go on an ESE20 - 
       SYSUAF.DAT, RIGHTSLIST.DAT and JBCSYSQUE.DAT.
    
       I would guess that when the ESE20 is up and running there are some 
       possible tuning actions to take account of the faster I/Os - for 
       example reduce the number of global buffers on profile and pending 
       files, reduce the system block count for sequential files to 4 - the 
       principal file of interest here is OAFORM.FLB.

460.2Lots of system files...CHGV04::PROCTORHow 'bout those Cubs...Fri Apr 10 1992 16:3510
    Hi,
    
    I have a long list of system type files that I am going to move.
    With the ALL-IN-1 files, I felt it was better to move directories
    rather than individual files just for maintenance reasons. That was
    what I was thinking about when I ask about moving all of ALL-IN-1
    over. So one does not ahve to worry about where things are during
    upgrades, or changes.
