Size Limitation for Deploying Files

Hi,

I wonder if there is a size limitation for deploying large files (50M - 4gig+) to target servers using OpenDeploy. Is so, what would be the resolution?

Thanks,

Wing Ng

I have never heard of a self imposed OD limit, the OS may have some (Solaris used to croak on > 2 GB, DOS filesystems had a similar limit).

AFAIK, if you can store the file on the source and on the destination, you should be OK.

One final point, OD does transactional deployments meaning it creates new files and then removes the existing (if it is there). Thus this can chew up a larger amount of disk while the deployment is in process.

I could also envision some performance issues with really, really large files, but I think those could be mitigated by adjusting the block transfer size. There are instructions for doing that somewhere in the admin manual.

Once I had done a deployment of a 2+ GB file for some POC. The conclusion was as below

1. What level of compression is selected. by how much the % the files could be compressed.
2. The network speed
3. Disk space
4. CPU Utilization.
5. Whether you are using iwodcmd/iwodstart.

These parameters could decide the time/performance for the deployment.
