Dear Koha devs!
I work at at Oslo public library. We recently decided to go for Koha, and are now working on planning the migration from our current ILS.
Our library is fully automated, with RFID-checkin machines taking care of almost all of our circulation. We currently have around 50 of these running at 15 branches around the city. Because of this, we naturally need the SIP-server to handle quite a load. I checked the logs of our current ILS, and found the number of SIP-messages peeked at 58 per second.
(In addition to the checkin-machines - we have a lot of RFID-workstations which potentially also will make use of SIP)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is what I have found out: Koha's SIP server can only handle one request at a time. So if you need more you have to spin up more SIP-severes. This fine for a few, but try to spin up 30 of theese - it takes 15 minutes just to get them all started on a new box with plenty of RAM & CPU. The servers are independent processes which share no resources..
Hmmm, could I see your config please? Because this doesnt sound right at all. What do you have in your SIPconfig.xml I just edited mine to have min 30, spare 1 add it started in seconds Chris
