QlikView Clustering - CPU Cores Not Matching

[obriened83]

Hi Guys,

          I was wondering if you could help me on deciding what the best solution should be with the following issue I am having? We are investing in a QlikView cluster server environment but we are unable to get specifications for our new server that matches our existing QlikView server (new H/W vendor).

Existing Server:

40 Cores

512 GB's RAM

New Server:

32 Cores

512 GB's RAM

Will this be an issue? I've heard that reducing the number of CPU's in the CPU affinity section on the management console to match the smaller box that there should be no issues. If I do this though, am I sacrificing 8 cores on my existing QlikView server as these will not be used?.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks again,

Eamonn

IMHO I do not think a different number of cores should cause a problem per se.

But it does depend on what is driving your wish to go from a single node to a dual node cluster.

‌Hi Bill,

Thanks very much for getting to me. We would be using the 2 server cluster for scalability rather than performance.
