Hello,
I am switching my LDM machine from a Sun Solaris 8 machine to a PC running
RedHat 9. This PC will feed the data via NFS to 4 Sun Solaris 8 machines,
who in turn run GEMPAK scripts on the data and post imagery to the web. My
prior setup had the 4 Suns mounting the NFS share of another Sun and things
went well. I just made the switchover, i.e. made the PC/Redhat machine the
NFS server to the 4 Suns, and the mount went fine. The problem is, now the
GEMPAK scripts take a very long time to run on the Suns. A simple script
takes a couple minutes where it used to take 20 seconds. I am assuming that
this is because of the communication between the PC and the Suns via the NFS
mount. Are there any NFS settings I can use to make the data read faster?
Is this even the problem? Has anyone faced this problem? Any wisdom on the
situation would be helpful. Thanks!
Patrick
