RE: Requesting Data errors with SAN and Large Mailboxs

Jim -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Daniel Chenault Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 10:58 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: Requesting Data errors with SAN and Large Mailboxs Perfmon should also reveal whether the SAN is somehow slowing things down. I know a SAN is supposed to be faster but that can depend on how it was configured in the first place. I've seen a SAN being demoed that was significantly slower than it should have been. After tuning the block sizes to more closely reflect the expected block sizes being written (the demo used Exchange and this is a known size) the performance problems disappeared. Or rather was alleviated; there were some extraneous factors that prevented the demo from giving a good result (not important at this time). Bottom line is that to achieve high performance with a SAN requires more than plugging it in and turning it on. There is a KB article on selecting block size according to size of disks and number of spindles that as I recall translates nicely to SAN configuration. There are numerous objects under Object:PhysicalDisk that, in aggregate, can give a very good idea of how the disk storage subsystem is performing. If I were to choose one as a starting point it would be Current Disk Queue Length. The Explain button for this says: Current Disk Queue Length is the number of requests outstanding on the disk at the time the performance data is collected. It also includes requests in service at the time of the collection. This is a instantaneous snapshot, not an average over the time interval. Multi-spindle disk devices can have multiple requests that are active at one time, but other concurrent requests are awaiting service. This counter might reflect a transitory high or low queue length, but if there is a sustained load on the disk drive, it is likely that this will be consistently high. Requests experience delays proportional to the length of this queue minus the number of spindles on the disks. For good performance, this difference should average less than two. If this number were to stay high, or be on a ramp-up that never goes back down, this would indicate the disk subsystem is falling behind on servicing read/write requests (the above represents both). From here there are other counters that could be observed in order to narrow down where the slowdown is occuring. As to your other point about all the mail being elsewhere besides in the inbox. When a mailbox opens the root folder is enumerated - a large number of folders in the root would be a slowdown. Then the inbox is enumerated; ditto for a large number of messages. Then rules are fired and here is where other folders could be touched and thus enumerated. This could make for a very slow startup for Outlook. After startup the user might drag a message with the mouse to a folder; that folder gets enumerated if it hasn't already, same if a rule fires. A new message sent would write to the Sent Items folder, enumeration again. A deleted message is sent to the Deleted Items folder and, again, more enumeration. I trust that answers your question on that score. - Original Message - From: Jim Brady [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Exchange Discussions [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 10:22 PM Subject: RE: Requesting Data errors with SAN and Large Mailboxs Thanks for the insight/understanding.

Try this experiment if you can find the chance to do it. Have the user reboot his workstation and start Outlook. Have perfmon running against the Exchange server watching physical memory, store usage of memory, cpu and store use of cpu. Watch them spike up and keep ramping up. There's your answer. Solution: dig through the junk and get rid of the crap (Mike, let's meet for lunch on 4/4/97). Come up with a logical and efficient folder hierarchy that reflects the users' usage of those folders. Anything not accessed in over six months (arbitrary number) goes to a PST (and backed up, just in case). Although Exchange is generally pretty good about maintaining large amounts of objects and data the contents of the mailbox itself are pretty much left up to the user to manage. That is to say that Exchange owns the mailbox, but not the contents of the mailbox (in the sense of managing it). This is usually not a problem, but then again the usual user doesn't have 65,000 objects in his mailbox, let alone 200,000. I understand there are some third-party add-ons for Outlook that help with managing a large amount of information offering indexing, management and archival functions; that's what's needed here. Exchange is doing what it is supposed to do and OL isn't intelligent enough to serve as a front-end to a very large store of objects.

RE: OWA and large attachments.
You could try attaching another file local to the OWA server, maybe use another account. Otherwise, shouldn't take longer than few seconds to attach a 1mb file. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Varghese, Wilson Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 4:38 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: OWA and large attachments.

RE: Hyperlinks
Back in the ol' days (Outlook 98 and earlier), using Word or HTML automatically converts (for example) http://www.lakers3peat.com and www.lakers3peat.com to live links, while using RTF or plain text only converts http://lakers.three.peat. See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q182172 for more info. Outlook 2000/2002 converts everything that looks like a link into a live link. You can manually get rid of a hyperlink by highlighting the url or clicking anywhere on it (right click -remove hyperlink). However, can't edit hyperlinks in plain text mode . switch to HTML or RTF. An older recipient's mail client can still strip off the formatting.

RE: event 7024 on is/ds consistency check
Just took a glance at my Exch2k public folder hierarchy. Don't have a system configuration folder, but have the others you've listed. Although they all have the admin/admin group as owners in AD (via the Administrative rights and Directory rights option), the system folders don't have ownership via the Client Permissions. Of course, this pf hierarchy wasn't an upgrade, nor were any 3rd party tools used. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Harmon, Josh Sent: Friday, January 25, 2002 3:47 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: event 7024 on is/ds consistency check Very cool site... but doesn't identify the 7024 for the is/ds consistency check unfortunately.

The situation is this: An Exchange server was moved from one physical location to another, a different network address, different DNS server, but everything else is pretty much the same. The only changes on the Exchange side were SMTP addresses of the users (adding GEAC.COM to their address lists) and the domain of the server itself (from paris.geac.com to FR.GEAC.COM).

Hi everyone, I have a real problem that I am hoping someone in this group can help with. We currently run an Exchange 5.5 organization with about 30 sites spanning 3 NT 4.0 domains, with a few Exchange 2000 servers from the Win2000 forest we are migrating too. I was trying to consolidate two of the 5.5 sites using the move server wizard, however the move failed about 90% of the way thru, and it was unable to move the server back into the original site (where it had been the only server). Now in my GAL I have an orphan site, with an empty configuration container. I can't delete it, and it is preventing the KCC from completely successfully because several sites seem to think they have info on this (ie. The tombstone was never replicated). We also can't install any new Exchange 2000 servers into the Org, likely again because the KCC isn't happy. I've tried installing a new server into a new site with the same name (can't join as no server is in site), however I can't setup the replication connectors because our Corporate site thinks it has a connection to that site already, so removing it has no effect on the GAL. I've also tried installing a server into a new site, and using move server wizard to try and move into the orphan site, but it fails as well. I am at a loss as to what else to try. Microsoft's support site and various other resources have been useless in this situation, and you all are my last hope before paying out to PSS. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. I am wondering whether I can manually set a tombstone thru the raw admin utility, but have no idea what actually needs to be set. Thanks in advance.

Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 1:24 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Backup Hi there, I am having probs with the backup of my XCNG 5.5 Sp4 on NT4Sp6. I have a priv.edb of approximately 23 GB size. Besides is only the OS and little more (antivirus etc) on the machine. The machine itself is a P3 Xeon with 500 Mhz and 512 MB RAM. It has an DLT 80 and uses backup software Veritas Backup Exec Multiserver 7.3. The problem: The backup of the Exchange Mailboxes lasts 12 hours, the whole filesystem (27 GB) is being taped in half an hour. Why does take so long to read out the mailboxes of the information store? Anybody seen this or any idea?
