[Orca-users] RE: collecting data across multiple hosts

[Cooper, Clark]

Joe,

You need to setup a common nfs mount point or scp the data to single host
every few minutes....  either way all of the data must reside in a common
directory with subdirectories for each host.

/usr/local/var/orca/orcallator/
