Please suggest if any one have tried relay (9.5) scaling for 5000 clients, currently our relay supporting 3000+ endpoint.
Hence want to check if there is any setting/config for relay so that it can support up to 5000 clients.
Already went through below link-
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27048326
In 9.5.9 release note it was declared that a relay can host 5000 clients but it has again come down to 1000 clients, it is not officially declared in written but have heard. If you are not having any performance issue then it is ok but for the best practice i would suggest you to keep 1000 endpoints reporting to one relay for better performance.
Pls go through this link, its documented.
Check this post out, it should help.
From what I can gather, it’s simply a case of increasing the hardware specs of the Relay and there are some configurations options that will help too.
Totally agreed with @FatScottishGuy if you want to increase the scaling you need to increase the hardware specs of the Relay server to avoid performance issue.
Whether the relay hardwaremustbe improved really all depends on what the hardware is now…thr Capacity and Performance guide already referenced should help.
The most important parts of relay scalability mode are actually in the OS and Relay settings.
For a Windows relay, you’ll want to decrease the TcpTimedWait value in the registry to 30 seconds; this allows for quicker reuse of TCP sockets, and increase _BESRelay_HTTPServer_MaxConnections (see https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSQL82_9.5.0/com.ibm.bigfix.doc/Platform/Config/r_client_set.html )
Ok I was able to find this post which is very helpful but still having one conflict on setting ulimit.
