Hello,
We wanna get a new server but want to know if asl fully supports the system with a lot off RAM and SAS
The server will be like this:
HP ProLiant DL180
2x Intel Quad Core E5504
64GB DDR3
12x300GB SAS 15k
RAID 10 (Stripe + Mirror)
IP KVM Card
CentOS 5 (64 bit)
2 x 1000Mbps Full-Duplex

New server with a lot RAM no problems with asl?

No problem, it should be able to handle up to 256G of ram on a 64-bit system.

Re: New server with a lot RAM no problems with asl?
Keep in mind, 256GB of RAM is not an ASL limitation - its the limit of ALL current x86_64 bit architectures no matter what OS, CPU, MB, you use - Windows, Linux, MacOS, etc. But even this is just a theoretical limit as a motherboards must be able to support that big of a memory footprint, and operating systems place much lower limits on the address space. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64.
For example, in RHEL 5 the maximum for the x86_64 arch is 256GB supported:

Another example, with Windows 7, the maximum is only 192 GB:

As the hardware is capable of handling larger memory spaces on 64 bit platforms, so will ASL. So on 64 bit you have no limitations with memory with ASL, you're only limited by your hardware and OS.
