Hello,

        Believe we finally found the problem with the slow MySQL connections
- NetBIOS.  When discovered that the one fast DB node had netBios disabled
and when we disabled it on all the other test nodes, performance went from
25 seconds for 1k inserts to 1 second, same as the 'fast' node.

Now, the interesting part is that when we re-enabled NetBios, to ensure that
was indeed the problem, the inserts were still fast.  The only conclusion
that I can come up with is that there was some kind of NetBIOS caching
problem with the network that disabling it for the nodes in question seems
to have cleared out.

So, if you use Server 2003 and your DB runs slow, try disabling NetBIOS. 


Thanks,

Randall 

P.s. With MySQL v4.1 and later, you have to explicitly enable named pipe
usage.

Randall,

Try changing the xml/sequoia.dtd file line:

 hederaPropertiesFile   CDATA "/hedera_jgroups.properties"

to look like:

 hederaPropertiesFile   CDATA "/hedera_appia.properties"


also, if your server cannot get to the internet, config/appia.xml will need
to be changed as it grabs a dtd file from the internet.

Hope that helps,

Leif
