-Phil From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gilmanov, Nile Sent: Wednesday, December 3, 2014 9:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] Distribution Bottleneck Was wondering if anyone here understands Distribution better than I as this is really frustrating: Basically I keep running into the same issue, every time I send a large package out it seems to bottle-neck everything else, even little things get stuck waiting for this huge package to complete. My environment is Primary Site, 3-4 DPs that get content directly from PRI, 2 PULL DPs that pull from one of the former DPs. WNCNLSCCMDP01 is a PULL DP, here its full status from the [Distribution Point Configuration Status] view in Monitoring: 12/3/2014 8:52:00 AM Distributing content Distribution Manager instructed Package Transfer manager to send package "LF1001E7" to distribution point "["Display=\\WNCNLSCCMDP01.Cm12rocks.lan\"]MSWNET:["SMS_SITE=LF1"]\\WNCNLSCCMDP01.Cm12rocks.lan\<file:///\\WNCNLSCCMDP01.Cm12rocks.lan\>". In Progress LF1001E7 12/2/2014 3:29:00 PM Processing content on site server Distribution Manager successfully processed package "Workstations_PatchUp_2014" (package ID = LF1001FA). In Progress LF1001FA 12/2/2014 8:05:00 AM Distributing content Distribution Manager instructed Package Transfer manager to send package "LF100167" to distribution point "["Display=\\WNCNLSCCMDP01.Cm12rocks.lan\"]MSWNET:["SMS_SITE=LF1"]\\WNCNLSCCMDP01.Cm12rocks.lan\<file:///\\WNCNLSCCMDP01.Cm12rocks.lan\>". In Progress LF100167 12/3/2014 9:17:00 AM Content is being distributed to the distribution point Package Transfer Manager is currently sending software distribution package LF10021B to distribution point server WNCNLSCCMDP01.CM12ROCKS.LAN, 89 percent of the sending has already completed. In Progress LF10021B 12/3/2014 2:34:00 AM Processing content on site server Distribution Manager successfully processed package "SCEP_Signatures" (package ID = LF1001F7). In Progress LF1001F7 12/2/2014 6:48:00 AM Distributing content Distribution Manager instructed Package Transfer manager to send package "LF1002DB" to distribution point "["Display=\\WNCNLSCCMDP01.Cm12rocks.lan\"]MSWNET:["SMS_SITE=LF1"]\\WNCNLSCCMDP01.Cm12rocks.lan\<file:///\\WNCNLSCCMDP01.Cm12rocks.lan\>". In Progress LF1002DB I can confirm that LF10021B (29 GB in size by the way) is still getting sent to the DP. Per its SMSDPROV.log: [C74][Wed 12/03/2014 08:26:57]:Content '9a596c68-ab09-4869-9c8c-1162d7211f2a' for package 'LF10021B' has been added to content library successfully [C74][Wed 12/03/2014 08:27:00]:Content '1fcd38d1-413f-4b4c-86e1-ecec08966734' for package 'LF10021B' has been added to content library successfully [C74][Wed 12/03/2014 08:27:06]:Content '492b9f3f-e9e8-4a2f-94ec-eb905b7ad4a2' for package 'LF10021B' has been added to content library successfully [DF0][Wed 12/03/2014 08:28:01]:Content 'b3c03b56-886c-46a3-8ea7-ba0a6c90e309' for package 'LF10021B' has been added to content library successfully ONLY LF10021B is being distributed… WTH? Here is my settings in the primary site [Software Distribution Component Properties] window: ----Concurrent distribution settings--------------------- Maximum number of packages: 7 Maximum threads per package: 5 ----Retry settings--------------- Number of retries: 100 Delay before retrying: 30 ----Multicast retry settings----------- Number of retries: 3 Delay before retrying: 1 Any ideas guys??? I can’t seem to find a good resource online for distribution that addresses multitasking extensively. Thanks, Nile
