TOPIC

    My Macintosh Server G3 with AppleShare IP 6.0 and/or SoftRaid 2.x formatted drives sometimes does not perform to the best of its abilities. Should I split the AppleShare IP 6.0 services onto separate computers? Should I use SoftRaid to create a RAID system?

DISCUSSION

    You should not have to split the AppleShare IP 6.0 services onto separate computers. However, for increased stability under heavy loads, it is recommended that the AppleShare IP Mail and Web services run on separate systems. SoftRaid is a good solution for server administrator's who wish to create a RAID system for redundancy and backup of critical data.

    A few suggestions to optimize your server's performance include:
    - install additional physical ram to a total of 48MB of ram or greater,
    - turn Virtual Memory OFF
