I always thought that write-back cache should be always turned off, whether it has battery or not.

MS only recommends that this is enabled when the cache on the controller has a battery, but it does sound like this might be the case. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 09, 2002 5:18 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Slow performance Don't do diskkeeper against your store. The rest of your disk stats look to be OK. Maybe someone else can give you better advice about what perfmon items to look for to help track down the issue. -----Original Message----- From: Varghese, Wilson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 09, 2002 2:55 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Slow performance The store is on a 135gig raid 5 partition.. 64gigs is used with 70.7 gigs free.. both pub and priv are on this drive. The drives are brand new drives and the database is also new. We just migrated the users over to this server about four weeks ago. I have not run diskkeeper on it though. Ram = 1.5 gigs.. page file is 2gigs on the C drive.

Have you run diskkeeper on it to check for fragmentation problems, and/or could you be running short of space? How does your page file compare to your RAM?

I ran perfmon but it seems to show that the HDD is being heavily used. There is a lot of information in the calendars and quite a few people use it heavily. I'll keep poking around, this just gets so frustrating when everyone is screaming in your ear that "email is down".

Run perfmon on the interface and check the kb's. Our server was running at like 15% but the nic was running at like 80 and killing the box. -----Original Message----- From: Tener, Richard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 09, 2002 2:51 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Slow performance How much Ram do you have? Also is there a ton of info in your calander that people access at the same time? -----Original Message----- From: Varghese, Wilson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 09, 2002 2:45 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Slow performance Exch 2k sp2 on win2k sp2 machine (with 150 users) The machine is a Compaq DL380 hooked up to a Compaq SAN. The store drives are 5*32 gig (Raid 5) and the log and index files are on a mirrored 32 gig partition. Calendar and folder switching is very slow. Takes about 45 seconds to switch to a different folder or to access the calendar. Dismissing a calendar event can lock up outlook for several minutes. The log files and indexes are on separate drives but anything else I can do to speed this up a bit? If you can point me in the right direction, it would be very helpful.
