HCL Notes/Domino 8.5 Forum (includes Notes Traveler)

Subject:

>>First, look at the bandwidth utilization on the Domino Server

They do match up, we do not see problem internally because we are on 1Gb network with, problem is that 4 T1s are giving only 6 Mbps and this is not enough even for as little as 40 remote folks and it is not individual client or clients, it is real easy to see the difference when we have 20 vs 40 or more Lotus Notes clients

>> Second, are both the Notes client and Domino Server(s) network config set to compress data? As an aside, what version Notes and Domino are we talking about?

Yes they all configured with data compression and encription, and we use lastest versions 8.5.1 FP2 on Domino and 8.5.1 clients

>> Third, ... but that using a local replica has the same impact as using a server replica, check out what the Notes client is actually doing.

This is real funny actually we are not using Domino/Notes for anything other then vanila email/calendar and there is no other databases replication going on, all clients are configured to replicated on schedule every 30 minutes via policy that cannot be modified by user, short of long even there is no replication in place Notes client is still "pilling" something from Domino and reason I use "pull" word here is becasue we see mostly issue with upload from internal network side which means other side is downloading. Make no sense but this is how it is.

>> This doesn't really sound like an issue with what the user is doing with your Domino Server(s) but rather an issue with inefficient or continuous replication by the Notes client with the Domino

inefficient???? it is straight forward install other then Domino is in cluster but that should make no difference since Notes client are connecting to one of the nodes only at the time and other node is in remote location.

again, we had PMR open with IBM and did not get any help all support was trying to tell us is that NRPC protocol is not best and efficient which BTW is not best way to promote a software.
don't get me wrong I have beed working and supporing Domino/Notes for last 8 years but it is so frustrating when you have to work with something that does not work well at least in this particular situation when we have folks working remotly.
