Tested Configuration Limits

The tested configuration limits for Matrix Server and MxFS-Linux are as

follows. These limits will be increased as additional testing takes place.

Theoretically, the tested configuration limits can be exceeded up to the

bounds of the operating system. If you plan to configure your matrix

beyond the tested limits, please contact PolyServe Technical Support for

information about any known configuration issues or concerns.

Matrix Server

Matrix Server has been tested to the following configuration limits:

• 16 servers per matrix for FC fabric configurations; six servers per

matrix for iSCSI configurations.

• 508 LUNs per matrix for FibreChannel fabric configurations. For iSCSI

configurations, the maximum number of connections for the iSCSI

initiator.

• 512 filesystems per matrix.

• 1750 filesystem mounts per matrix.

• 128 virtual hosts per matrix.

• 128 service and/or device monitors per matrix.

• 10 event notifiers per matrix.

• 4 network interface cards per server.

• 4 FibreChannel ports per server.

• 1024 unique paths to disks in the matrix.

MxFS-Linux

MxFS-Linux has been tested to the following configuration limits:

• 128 Virtual NFS Services per matrix.

• 64 Export Groups per matrix.

• 1024 export records per Export Group.

• 512 PSFS filesystems exported via NFS per matrix.
