late 80's style.
posted by Greg Whynott on Dec. 22, 2016, 6:35 p.m. (2 days ago)

Was poking around on one of the VM hosts and was pleasantly surprised to see it had over 100 gigs of DRAM in it with 50% un allocated/reserved. It was upgraded since the last time I touched them apparently....

Just want I needed as I wanted to double the memory allocated to the exchange server running on it. Looking at other guests on it, things seem 'normal'.. monitor machine 4 gigs, spam 4 gigs, db 8 gigs, sso/auth proxy 2 gigs and so on..

Then I see this:



lol Andrew!!! 128 megs. love it. This is our main kickstart/pxe boot, tftp image deployment server, has been in service for over 5 or 6 years now. Never once noticed it was acting sluggish. Reminds me of the days my Indy only have 8 megs, thought I was being silly upgrading it to 16 and 32 megs would be just showing off. lol. UNIX!!!!



the kicker is it seems happy, not a single page in swap:

root@pxe1:/install/centos73/repodata# free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 121840 119012 2828 0 7476 26632
-/+ buffers/cache: 84904 36936
Swap: 0 0 0
root@pxe1:/install/centos73/repodata#


merry christmas all!!
