<div dir="ltr"><div>Robert,</div><div><br></div><div> I did not think starting time of the daemon can count as start point and wonder if its actually a true . In our case rhnsd daemon starts when VM starts so they start randomly . But if 100 VMs was going to start around the same time then that might count as those rhnsd daemons will contact spacewalk server around the same time .. </div><div><br> Good point about OSAD and I have noticed our proxies being hammered by OSAD triggering tasks on 200 hindered clients and its the reason we are not going to use OSAD. Also, for our purposes we dont really need tasks for be executed quickly. </div><div><br><br><br><br><br>Robert wrote:<br><br><br>You assume, that every server started rhnsd at the same time...
