I wrote last week that you can
run DAOS Estimator from your client to collect information from the server. Unfortunately, there's a problem with this approach. Estimator will iterate through the server databases without a problem, but it will attempt to open those databases locally. Obviously a client will not have all of the server databases local and in the same relative path, so these database opens will fail with 0x103 (File does not exist). SPR DANG7NPHYJ has been created to request additional functionality that will allow Estimator to open databases on the server instead of trying to open them locally.

My experiences with the DAOS Estimator hasn't been good. I ran it from a Unix shell, it ran for 5 days and then the server crashed as it ran out of memory. That was by best attempt to run it. The first 3 time the server became unresponsive after 2 days.
Needless to say I'm giving up on it.
@1 - perhaps
this Wiki entry that Mitch Cohen posted will help
you out?
I've had good luck with the tool on Windows.
I was running it on Solaris.
Right, I'm just wondering if there may be some similarities with some of the permissions and symbolic link changes that were necessary on AIX (unixy as well).
