All,

On my clean build of my packet fence server for the new school year, I start 
getting user complaints about new device registrations about two weeks in from 
a reboot. A reboot fixes the problem, but I hit a load of 50-60 for several 
hours before the system settles down. I am completely inline with no 
vlan/switch configurations. It is a virtual machine with 4 processors and 6 GB 
of ram. There are no other virtual machine on this server running at this time.

Here is what happens:

  1.  Start server, load jumps to 50 for several hours. Residents can still use 
system, but device registration is slow
  2.  24 hour after reboot system is running at a load of .5 and everything is 
running fine.
  3.  1.5 weeks, most devices have been registered and that occasional device 
works fine, but I may get one that hangs. The user will either register the 
device on the registration page or through gaming-device. Once connected, it 
will go to the page that informs the user that the device is being activated 
and to wait for a few minutes.
  4.  2 Weeks, All users start to get the same message. The message never goes 
away. I try to restart services, but it usually hangs so the only option I am 
left with is to force reboot the server.
  5.  Go to step 1

The question I have is what would be causing the restorations to “fail to 
activate” and is there a better way to resolve it besides weekly reboots of the 
system?

Any help would be great.
