Hi Phil,
I believe it is RAID 5 and there is a lot of disk I/O but it doesn't seem to be excessive. What tools do you recommend to evaluate that other than Task Manager? It's a progressive thing-the more that log in, the worse it gets so I'm more inclined to believe we have some excessive database activity. I'm getting tired of getting beat up by the users so I'm looking for any recommendations of things to look for. Good to hear from you, Craig Carter ________________________________ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Phil Murnane Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2008 11:08 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Server Configuration Recommendations Craig: What does the server resource utilization look like when you go from 80 to 100 users? Is there lots of paging or some heavy disk I/O? I'm sure you've looked in this direction, but perhaps we can offer a fresh pair of eyes. One thing I've seen kill database performance is if the DB is stored on a RAID 5 volume and there's lots of write activity. If the database starts looking like the bottleneck, this might be something to pursue.
