<p class=MsoNormal>Hi everyone<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have a 3 server cluster (around 1500 users) with 7845 HPs
and need to define how to activate the services between them.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Cisco recommends 4 servers for clusters > 1250 users :<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>1 dedicated PUB<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>1 dedicated TFTP<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>2 Subscribers<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Since I have 1500 users and 3 servers I don't exactly fit
the SRND specs and I was wondering what you think is the best way to handle
this ?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>For now I'm leaning towards 50-50 load on Subscribers with
the following services:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>PUB : Administration only<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>SUB1 : Subscriber + TFTP + IP Voice Media Streaming<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>SUB2 : Subscriber + TFTP + IP Voice Media Streaming<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>One other option that I like but involves overhead is this:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>PUB: Administration + TFTP (primary)<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>SUB1: Subscriber + IP Voice Media Streaming (Primary)<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>SUB2: Subscriber + TFTP (Secondary) + IP Voice Media
Streaming (Secondary)<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>What do you think? <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
