And it chugs for about a minute on a 3GHz Xeon (admittedly from 2004, so Nocona?) before actually starting the backup.</P><P></P><P>Also, I have word from Netapp support that OC Host will receive no further development, so you may want to reconsider deploying it.</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 20 Apr 2012 04:24:51 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/Active-IQ-Unified-Manager-Discussions/OnCommand-Host-Package-1-1-Scalability/m-p/13949#M2813 JANDREWARTHA 2012-04-20T04:24:51Z
