SDR Device Mapping Performance on ECC UB7

Alan,

Thanks for that little bit of history. We are currently using SMC for most functions but our senior engineer is telling me that the mapping performance has gotten worse off since I remade our ECC environment into a distributed infrastructure environment.  He claims that when we had ECC on only 2 pieces of hardware. It performed much better but still leagues slower than mapping through SMC.

Below is an overview of what our environment looks like. If its not worth it to use ECC for mappnig I'll let him know what the user community says but if there is a glaring configuration problem I'd like to correct it if possible.

TIA

I find SMC performance dog slow as well ...symcli for life

We gave up on Device Mapping in CC back under 5.2 and have not seen anything since to change this. We do all out mapping through command line or SMC. The mapping through CC was so slow it was painful.

If you are not using SMC you should seriously consider it. For some things you gett effectively the same performance of CLI while getting the advantages of a GUI as well.

Hi,

I have just implemented ECC 6.1 UB7. I have noticed that the SDR Device Mapping is very slow, even compared to ECC 6.1 UB5. I am interested to hear any tips to improve the performance.

I performed a device mapping and it seemed to be going well (smoothly and fairly quickly) until the very end of the procedure when it was "Refreshing the Database". It sat there for about 15 - 20 minutes before completing. Has anyone else had this slow performance?

Hey dynamox,

I'm surprised to hear that SMC performance is slow for you. We generally get close to CLI speeds out of it. Sometimes it is faster overall if the GUI advantage makes the set up easier (sometimes, but far from always). If I'm doing large volumes of devices at a time (rare) I still find it faster to set run through CLI with a script.
