Partitioned drive

Attended Peregrine Training
Configured Clearquest web
Worked with Michael on Clearcase web problems
Worked on problem with accessing Clearcase due to outgrowing the lockmgr's limits
Implemented Heap Size fix and Lockmgr fix to new production servers

The article talks about monitoring the server processes for a week to determine how to best set the values for lockmgr. Unfortunately we don't have a week to wait so for the mean time I simply set the following parms on the lockmgr and restarted Clearcase on the vob sever:
That should give us some breathing room. Meantime I set up a quick script to monitor the number of server processes as per the article.-a almd -u 100 -f 200 -q 500
