How much CPU should the Agent (in general) be using on an Exchange 2010 Server

Hello
Can someone please help me with the following question.
I was asked by the Exchange admin if the HealthService.exe process should be using around 10% of the CPU on a 6 core system.
First of I am note sure if the agent can use more than one core and if the % CPU as shown in Task Manager reflects all cores for a given process e.g. does 10% mean 10% across all cores or just one core.
I explained the Agent is running many workflows and instigating other tasks i.e. monitoring host and perhaps cscript etc. So it is difficult to say how much CPU is normal!
However does anyone else have an Exchange 2010 environment (I am using SCOM 2007 R2 CU6) and if so how much CPU is it using over a few minutes?
also, if there a canned report I can run which shows how much CPU the agent is using over time.
Thanks in advance

There are many scripts and monitoring workflows in general that run in the Exchange management pack. CPU may spike periodically while scripts are executing. However, this may be a SyncTime issue in the Exchange pack - since there are many scripts in the
pack, it would be recommended to cascade script runtime by using SyncTime configuration. I haven't taken a look at this pack in some time, so cannot comment on whether this practice was used. In general, a typical SCOM agent should not use more than 1-5% CPU
time, sustained. But, again, for heavily scripted packs like the Exchange pack, you will likely see CPU spikes regularly.

How much noise should the hard drive make on a MBP early 2011?

Had since May/June last year i5 13" and only since I applied all updates few weeks ago it seems to be louder than it was before?
It sounds like a fan but isn't... obviously. Right hand side of track pad, and covering it, in fact just touching it dampens it to barely audible. Is that normal or has something gone a bit weird? A constant fan noise, which isn't the fan is now there permanently.

None.
The machine should only make noise if the Superdrive is being used or the CPU's heavily used, going by my Early 2011 17".

It's possible it wasn't installed correctly and/or the case is slightly off so it's resonating the hard drive vibrations.
Make sure you have a internet connection (don't move) and reboot the machine holding the d key down like forever and Hardware Test will run.
Backup your data off the machine, if the hard drive dies under 1 year or three years with Applecare, then go get a new one. else you can replace it yourself with a better one and not void your warranty if you don't break anything doing so. Add more RAM while your at it.

As you know Mac's are made by hand by young Chinese women working 12 hour shifts performing the same function every 7 seconds for only $1.20 a hour. They live 7 to a box room and have to pay 70¢ a meal.
All in all I would say they are very tired, and it's possilbe a few defects made it to your machine.

How much time should the installation take?

It has been an hour and its still 50%.

It is totally network dependant. Try to turn off security can speed up the process. Also, Try using a wired connection.

Well you won't have very much storage capacity with a SSD that small, also SSD has limited writes, so it wouldn't be good for on-loading and off-loading a lot of files.
SSD isn't being securely erased due to steps to prevent their premature wear, so despite what you do in Disk Utility Secure Erase, your confidential data can still be recovered if you pass the machine on to someone else for instance.
Other than those reasons, small SSD's can be extremely fast, loading your programs and OS much faster. But the real benefit in high speed storage is transfering large amounts of files on/off the computer to ANOTHER fast device. This comes in handy for video and large music collections and so forth.
Since the SSD because of it's limited writes doesn't fit the bill as a large file transfer medium.
If you want to get a SSD drive, you can upgrade it yourself simply by ordering one online at locations like Other World Computing or NewEgg and have a 00 micro phillips head screwdriver handy.
There are instructions over at iFixit for opening your MacBook and replacing the hard drive with the SSD.
Preferably you will want to clone your present boot drive to a external drive using Carbon Copy Cloner, then making the switch and hold option to boot from the clone and then clone from the external to the new internal SSD drive.
Prices of SSD are varied, Apple won't replace it for you
This is currently the fastest SSD availalbe

HELP!!! - can i somehow tell my program how much percent of the CPU to use?

can i somehow tell my program how much percent of the CPU to use?

Yes but that doesn't mean that it is only going to
use, for example, 10% of the CPU. It just means it
won't use as much, maybe, as some other process.The
answer is no.In my previous reply I made the assumption the OS
wanted one program not to "hog" the processor. The
normal way to deals with this is to use priorities.
But the answer is still yes. The answer, in terms of the question, is still no.
The OS can, or nothing
would prevent an OS from, also putting restrictions on
a program and say it may never claim more than 1/10 of
the availible CPU time.I know of know OS that has any tool that allows one to set an application to use a percentage of the CPU.
I can't even imagine a business need for it except under some obtuse testing (and only testing) conditions.

How much would be the monthly cost to host a small Linux instance in Azure?

Hello Guys,
I just wanted to ask how much would be the monthly cost of hosting a Small instance of Linux VM in Azure. I doubt this
detail has all the pricing parameters included. It’s just the VM itself it seems.
I know there is a pricing calculator but I’m not sure what parameters would be involved for this very basic instance. If you guys can give me an example calculation or at least point me to the basic parameters to include in the calculation, I will really appreciate
it.
FYI – these instances will be running a FreePBX system. I hope this helps to point out which parameters should be considered and included in the calculation.
Thank you very much,
Arnel

How much RAM should I install for new iMAC ?

Hi,
How much RAM should I install for new iMAC* running Logic Studio? It comes with 4 GB - is that enough? (can you run in 64 bit mode..)
*(The 21.5" 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo)
Also, I was planning to get the stock 1 TB Hard Drive & save projects to an external drive.
Does that sound reasonable?
Any other recommendations?
Thanks,
Wm Heart

Unless you plan on running huge projects with enormous sampled instruments, 4 GB will do (very) fine. And your disk plan is sound. Choose an external Firewire drive, rather than USB. FW is easier on the CPU and can handle more tracks than USB.
What you should get, instead of more memory, is a (24 bit) external audio interface, if you want to do serious recording and playback.
What type of audio interface you'ld need, depends on what you want to do with it and of course your budget. From decent to brilliant costs from roughly 100 to several 1,000's of europounddollars. Avoid the 16 bit ones, they're worse than the inbuilt audio chip of your iMac. You can recognize 16 bit Audio Interfaces (in webshops) by their prize (often under 100€£$) and the lack of mention of their bitrate.

How much RAM should I add to my 2008 iMac?

Hi everybody,
I currently own an 20-inch Early 2008 iMac, and I was wondering what would be the best RAM upgrade for what I use the computer for. At the moment, I have 2GB of RAM and I'm running Mavericks, and I can tell that it isn't as fast as Snow Leopard. I use the computer for mostly video editing on Final Cut and sometimes iMovie, and also a little Photoshop here and there.
My question is: How much RAM should I buy (and from who) in order to speed up my iMac so that it can handle these programs without being painfully slow.
Thank you!

Your machine came with two 1GB RAM modules. The most it can take is a total of 6GB, by buying one 2GB and one 4GB module. Don't be tempted to buy these on the cheap, go with Crucial, OWC (macsales) or Ramjet. This will cost about $140. You will see an improvement if you only buy two 2GB ($65) and go to a total of 4GB, but I think you will see a significant additional boost by going to 6GB. The apps you are using can REALLY make use of all the RAM they have access to.

How much RAM should I get my new MacBook installed with?

How much RAM should I get my new MacBook installed with? I'm planning on getting a new Macbook sometime this fall. I'll probably be a light user, mostly internet, email, and your occasional Letter/Envelope.
Are their any other options that I'll want to make sure that I get?
Oh, and this will also be my very first Mac.
Thanks,
Jeff

In the link Alvin Ray posted it shows the different configurations that can be used in RAM. Officially Apple states that the MacBook supports 2 GB Ram. It can hold 4 GB but only uses 3 GB. The 4 GB would only benefit the matched pair use for optimum graphics. Unless you do a lot of very graphic intensive work 3 GB should be fine.

How much room should be partitioned for Windows XP?

Alright, I have a different install disc for XP with SP3 which should work. Since I'll only be using XP for a couple of things (mainly small programs, but also for office and such), how much room should I leave for XP on my 320 gig HD so that both OSs have some breathing room (most of my other stuff like music and pictures are on the Leopard side of things)?

But I hear that it has better compatibility to run FAT32 than NTFS. Does it really matter too much?
While OSX is able to read and write to FAT32 partition, it can only read from NTFS partitions.
With the help of apps like NTFS-3G http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ and/or NTFS for Mac http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/ OSX can also write to NTFS partitions.
To me personally this is no problem, since I want OSX and Windows to seperated (I even have Windows on a harddisk of its own in my Mac Pro) and for file exchange between OSX and Windows I use an external FAT32 HD.
But the advantage of the newer, better and more robust NTFS file system outweighs these 'disadvantages'.
And FAT32 has a file-size limitation for single-files of 4GB.
Also, not to be pessimistic, but what if something goes wrong with the partition or install? Can I restart my Mac and would it be unaffected? This disc should work, but I want to know just in case...
Before 'fumbling' with any kind of partitioning on a harddisk I always make a backup of my important files, or better said I use SuperDuper to make a bootable clone of my OSX.
While the chances that something goes wrong are quite slim (I have made the partitioning with the BootCamp Assistant for about 10 times now), the possibility is always there.

I'm trying to update iOS 7 and it says I need 3.4 GB of storage to update.. I currently have on my storage 797 MB and 12,6 GB used. How much storage should it write for me to be able to update?

I'm trying to update iOS 7 and it says I need 3.4 GB of storage to update.. I currently have on my storage 797 MB and 12,6 GB used. How much storage should it write for me to be able to update?

If your ipad has only 797 MB free and it tells you that you need 3.4 GB to update, then you need to begin deleing files, whatever it takes to free up space.
Consider...
Delete apps you don't use.
Delete videos you don't want (these take up a lot of space).
Do you have a lot of emails stored on the device?
Are there apps that store data files, like a PDF reader? If there are a lot of these, you need to delete some.
The bottom line is that you need to remove data and/or apps on your device to make more storage available.
But for videos and photos, always sync them to a computer first to archive them.

How much Memory should be allocated to SQL Server 2005

Hi,
I have a SQL Server 2005 installation on a server having 64GBof RAM.
SQL server is allocated 57GB of the available RAM.
Could you please tell me what would be the ideal RAM allocation for my scenario. is the one that is set now, fine.
How much RAM should be left for the OS and other processes to run?
I have around 8 databases on the server and the cumulative size of all the databases in about 800GB, these are highly used servers, used for a public domain.

Umesh,
Saeid and Uri has already given you good articles to refer to please read them. Reg SQL Server utilization I am sure you are referring to task manager which is always not correct place to look for memory utilization. Below link has query which will give
you SQL Server memory utilization
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlsakthi/archive/2011/02/28/t-sql-script-to-monitor-memory-usage-by-sql-server-instance.aspx
Article provided by Uri will give you not absolute value but almost correct value, but since you asked absolute value you need to look at performance counter to reach at correct memory utilization. If you refer to section 'Does my SQL server has low memory'
in article which Saeid gave you will find list of counters to monitor for memory utilization use the counters to reah absolute value.
>>OK, Can high RAM utilization by sql server cause the OS to restart by any chance.
IMO its not possible I have never seen SQL server being cause for OS shutdown. SQL Server works in non preemptive mode and will yield memory to OS when required. One possibility is when SQL server has locked pages in memory(LPIM) and some rouge process
or driver starts using memory from OS heavily and since SQL server memory is locked( due to LPIM privilege) it cannot trim heavily resulting in OS to terminate but this is not because of SQL server but because of bad drivers and processes leaking
memory on OS.
SQL server using memory is normal behavior
>>This question seems vague, but I had to ask this, because my server restarts abruptly and I don't get valid reasons in the Logs for that matter.
Does SQL server starts abruptly or windows OS ? Please look at event viewer for more details and SQL server logs. Is your SQL Server 2005 patched to SP4

How to calcuate how much cpu/cores needed for an amalgamation of databases on a single instance

Hi all, We have been given a project of producing a high level hardware spec for a new oracle linux server that would be an amalgamation of our current 5 windows servers all running Oracle 11203 Windows 2008 r2. All our windows boxes are Intel dual core with 12 cores each. My question is how to measure how much cpu is our current each oracle database is using to determine the min cpu/cores required for the new linux box? Hope i make sense. Thanks!

Hope that above excerpts from AWR reports can tell how much cpu is consuming each database , because for each database you will run awr report and then compare them .

How much I should charge nokia e6?

How much I should charge my new nokia e6?

Modern batteries do not suffer 'memory effect' and the electronics in the phone won't allow you to over charge it ! Normally it takes a couple of hours to fully charge a Nokia phone, personally I leave all my phones on charge overnight and have no issues , it will also cause no issue if you need to top it up during the day on a PC or through a mains charger or car charger
Good Luck
