[Orca-users] Orca dying on the vine?

[Hudes, Dana]

I am using orcallator on a variety of systems. All RICHPse 3.5. Orca-server is in a container on a v490 under sol 10 5/09 patched to latest. Built with sun studio 12 and perl 5.8.8 (compile with studio 12 from coolstack release)
The bunzip24 go wild. After 150 of them or so all 8gb of RAM is gone. My thinking is recompile bunzip2 from source use 64!it native (not sparcv8 as shipped) and tuen on autopar. 

I looked at pbunzip but its docs sayit won't help decompress perf with bzips compressed with the regular. 

The hope is to run each bunzip faster so that we don't reach critical mass. Host doing it has 2 4gbit FC ports to Hitachi 9990 6+1 raid 15l rpm disks. Of couse those drives have other apps on them but still the Hitachi has more capacity to deliver than a mere 8 gbit can pull

We have ~100 Solaris 10 (06/06) systems here running Orca 0.28b523 with RICHPse 3.4.1 and it works fine.  Granted, it’s mostly older hardware (USIII) so I can’t speak to compatibility with newer hardware releases, but it works.

My $.02,

Mark

Allen,

 

I'm still hoping to use ORCA with Solaris 10.  I have it installed using OpenCSW.

 

My thought is that system admins today are not as interested in what's going in their servers.

So, with the rather low level of activity both on the mailing lists and development for Orca and SE, have we gotten to the point where Orca/SE are pretty much dead? They've been great tools over the years, and I haven't seen anything that gives the same level of insight.

If dead, what are folks using out there for replacement?

Thanks!
