[Asterisk-Users] Lowering Server Load

[Anton Krall]

Hi Ron!
 
Well, I dont have raid involved here but do use SATA. I have 14 sip phones
and an average of 5 calls at a time. I was thinking about recording in gsm
to a ramdrive and then copying the files to the disk at certain intervals.

Also, SATA on a onboard SATA card will eat more CPU then a SCSI system. Are
you running software RAID by chance with your SATA? SCSI or SCSI Raid will
not each CPU near as much since the HBA does all the work and does tie up
the CPU with all its I/O's. We have successfulyl recorded 5+ calls at a time
via dual xeon 3.0 with 10K SCSI drives in RAID-5 with no issuses running
about 30 PRI channels and anywhere from 50-75 SIP channels, all with g729
encoding.

Hope this helps!
Ron

Yep, I tried it and indeed, it lowers cpu usage, so I switched from wav to
gsm format and Im thinking about doing the ramdisk solution for recording...
Sounds like a good move?

|Can you try not recording for a bit and see if that helps?
