Mike:
I do not have any tools to help you, but am VERY INTERESTED in a summary
of your results.
One question: with a network such as yours, are you taking advantage of
the automounter and the 'auto.vol' map? One example is that I have placed
most of the clusters (from /usr/cluster) on only two hosts. The auto.vol
map contains an entry for 'appl' which appropriately indicates both
servers. The same for 'devel'. Then I removed most clusters from the
clients, and replaced the appropriate directory (eg. man_pages) with a
link to '/vol/appl/man_pages'. ... Works Great!
The nice thing about being able to list more than one host in the
automount map is that there is a small amount of load balancing...
