So no slowing down due to mail server or hosting anything. We will use the DS415+ just for Revit files and storage. It runs dual ethernet bonding (2x cables) to Gigabit switch. The Synology DS415+ we getting will have 4x 1TB WD Black Caviar HDDs with 64mB buffers running Raid5 and another 2TB usb 3.0 external for extra backup and taking home incase of disaster. The error (someone else is accessing the model) sometimes when syncing together all at once popped up for 5 seconds and went away and all elements updated on all locals seemlessly. The files didnt lock up, we worked on the same sheets and same views even and synced simultaneously and no problems. it has 4x hdds (oldish ones - 32mb buffers) running Raid5. Yesterday we tested a WD NAS (not sure what model but it runs Linux 5.2 and hasnt been updated since 2012) also no ethernet bonding. This Mac server also doesnt have dual ethernet bonding. Often the the new elements don't even update when syncing and worksets that were editable resets to non editable, which is rather dangerous. The server doesnt understand the way Revit worksharing syncs so its qeues the users syncing first and locks the file causing that revit error - (someone else accessing the model) and sometimes even when no one is busy syncing.

but we migrated from working on IOS and Vectorworks to Revit and because the MACS are quite powerful we thought its better to save the money and just run windows natively) We Store the central files on the mac server and typically workshare with 3 users on a central at a time (100 - 150mb). You can use the Revit Server model creation command-line utility (RevitServerTool.exe) to automate the creation of local models to facilitate server-based worksharing.At the moment We are 4 MAC workstations running bootcamp and windows natively connected to a MAC mini server. Revit Server Model Creation Command-Line Utility.To prepare for scheduled backups, you can use the Revit Server command-line utility to lock and unlock a Revit Server Host or specific folders or models therein. Use the Revit Server Administrator to lock models in order to safely back up and restore model data for server-based worksharing. Locking Models for Backup and Restoration.Three types of lock are used to maintain data integrity in server-based worksharing. Shut Down a Revit Server Host for Maintenanceīefore performing maintenance that requires shutting down a Revit Server Host machine, you must first shut down the Revit Server application on that machine.You can modify the RSROLE 2022 environment variable to enable or disable roles as needed. Change the Role for an Instance of Revit ServerĮach instance of Revit Server is assigned up to 3 different roles (Host, Accelerator, or Admin) at the time of installation.In the event of a malfunction with a Revit Server Host, you can create new copies of its central models on a different Host.
