SCCM 2012 SecSite - High CPU and many chucks

H all,
i've a SCCM 2012 Secondary Site with SQL 2008 R2 Express Version below an Primary Site.
The sqlservr.exe and the smsexec.exe on the SecSite have high CPU load the whole time.
Also the statesys.log is increasing very fast (100 KB per second) with the following entries:
total chucks loaded (0)  $$<SMS_STATE_SYSTEM><10-18-2012 01:45:34.973+240><thread=3328 (0xD00)>
total chucks loaded (0)  $$<SMS_STATE_SYSTEM><10-18-2012 01:45:34.973+240><thread=3328 (0xD00)>

What could be the problem? Has Chuck Norris something to do with it? :D
Thanks a lot for your help.

Yes, I know this is an old post, I’m cleaning up old post, did you get this fixed, if so what was the solution?
Since no one has answer this post, I recommend opening  a support case with CSS as they can work with you to solve this problem.

  • Performance issue with high CPU and IO

    Hi guys,
    I am encountering huge user response time on a production system and I don’t know how to solve it.
    Doing some extra tests and using the instrumentation that we have in the code we concluded that the DB is the bottleneck.
    We generated some AWR reports and noticed the CPU was in top wait events. Also noticed that in a random manner some simple sql take a long time to execute. We activated the sql trace on the system and noticed that for very simple SQLs (unique index access on one table) we have huge exec times. 9s
    In the trace file the huge time we had it in fetch area: 9.1s cpu and elapsed 9.2.
    And no or very small waits for this specific SQL.
    it seems like the bottle neck is on the CPU but at that point there were very few processes running on the DB. Why can we have such a big cpu wait on a simple select? This is a machine with 128 cores. We have quicker responses on machines smaller/busier than this.
    We noticed that we had a huge db_cache_size (12G) and after we scale it down we noticed some improvements but not enough. How can I prove that there is a link between high CPU and big cache_size? (there was not wait involved in SQL execution). what can we do in the case we need big DB cache size?
    The second issue is that I tried to execute an sql on a big table (FTS on a big table. no join). Again on that smaller machine it runs in 30 seconds and on this machine it runs in 1038 seconds.
    Also generated a trace for this SQL on the problematic machine:
    call     count       cpu    elapsed       disk      query    current        rows
    Parse        1      0.00       0.00          0          0          0           0

      latch: object queue header operation            1        0.00          0.00
    ********************************************************************************The high CPU is present here also but here I have huge wait on db file scattered read.
    Looking at the session with the select the AWG_wait for db scattered read was 0.5. on the other machine it is like 0.07.
    I though this is an IO issue. I did some IO tests at SO level and it seems like the read and writes operation are very fast…much faster than the machine that has the awg_wait smaller. Why the difference in waits?
    One difference between these two DBs is that the problem one has the db block size = 16k and the other one has 8k.
    I received some reports done at OS level on CPU and IO usage on the problematic machine (in normal operations). It seems like the CPU is very used and the IO stays very low.
    On the other machine, the smaller and the faster one, it is other way around.
    What is the problem here? How can I test further? Can I link the high CPU to low/slow IO?
    we have 10G on sun os with ASM.
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, there are many things you can and should do to isolate this. But first check MOS Poor Performance With Oracle9i and 10g Releases When Using Dynamic Intimate Shared Memory (DISM) [ID 1018855.1] isn't messing you up to start.
    Also, be sure and post exact patch levels for both Oracle and OS.
    Be sure and check all your I/O settings and see what MOS has to say about those.
    Are you using ASSM? See Long running update
    Since it got a little better with shrinking the SGA size, that might indicate (wild speculation here, something like) one of the problems is simply too much thrashing within the SGA, as oracle decides "small" objects being full scanned in memory is faster than range scans (or whatever) from disk, overloading the cpu, not allowing the cpu to ask for other full scans from I/O. Possibly made worse by row level locking, or some other app issue that just does too much cpu.
    You probably have more than one thing wrong. High fetch count might mean you need to adjust the array size on the clients.
    Now that that is all out of the way, if you still haven't found the problem, go through http://oracle-randolf.blogspot.com/2009/02/basic-sql-statement-performance.html
    Edit: Oh, see Solaris 10 memory management conflicts with Automatic PGA Memory Management [ID 460424.1] too.

    Hi rhaughan,
    I see that you have concerns about your operating temperature of your computer while using resource-heavy applications such as gaming applications. I have an article that will address some of the concerns you have mentioned:
    Mac notebooks: Operating temperature - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-is/HT201640
    While there are third-party utilities that measure the temperature of a notebook computer, it is important to understand that these utilities are not measuring the external case temperature. The actual case temperature is much lower. Never use third-party applications to diagnose possible hardware issues—instead, contact Apple or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
    You should also see this article for even further information about your fans:

  • Can we assign 2 IPs for a SCCM 2012 primary site server and use 1 IP for communicating with its 2 DPs and 2nd one for communicating with its upper hierarchy CAS which is in a different .Domain

    Hi,
    Can we assign 2 IPs for a SCCM 2012 primary site server and use 1 Ip for communicating with its 2 DPs and 2nd one for communicating with its upper hierarchy CAS . ?
    Scenario: We are building 1 SCCM 2012 primary site and 2 DPs in one domain . In future this will attach to a CAS server which is in different domain. Can we assign  2 IPs in Primary site server , one IP will use to communicate with its 2 DPs and second
    IP for communicating with the CAS server which is in a different domain.? 
    Details: 
    1)Server : Windows 2012 R2 Std , VM environment .2) SCCM : SCCM 2012 R2 .3)SQL: SQL 2012 Std
    Thanks
    Rajesh Vasudevan

    First, it's not possible. You cannot attach a primary site to an existing CAS.
    Primary sites in 2012 are *not* the same as primary sites in 2007 and a CAS is 2012 is completely different from a central primary site in 2007.
    CASes cannot manage clients. Also, primary sites are *not* used for delegation in 2012. As Torsten points out, multiple primary sites are used for scale-out (in terms of client count) only. Placing primary sites for different organizational units provides
    no functional differences but does add complexity, latency, and additional failure points.
    Thus, as the others have pointed out, your premise for doing this is completely incorrect. What are your actual business goals?
    As for the IP Addressing, that depends upon your networking infrastructure. There is no way to configure ConfigMgr to use different interfaces for different types of traffic. You could potentially manipulate the routing tables in Windows but that's asking
    for trouble IMO.

  • Can we recover SCCM 2012 R2 site Servers and SQL DB from hyper V or Vmware VM snapshot

    Hi Folks
    Can we recover SCCM 2012 R2 site Servers and SQL DB from hyper V or Vmware VM snapshot
    if yes is there any challenges or any document available from Microsoft on Hyper V SCCM VM snapshot recovery.

    I've made it work and it "should" work. However it's not the best practice method of site recovery. You should recover using a SQL restore.
    See good example
    http://anoopcnair.com/2012/07/01/sccm-configmgr-2012-primary-site-server-and-database-recovery-part-1/
    Note that you should be using snapshots only on occasions when you are carrying out a risky operation. You can revert it the operation fails. It is not a substitute for a robust backup solution.

  • Z10 - High CPU and Battery Usage with BBM

    I recently updated my Z10 (UK and EE Carrier) to 10.2.1.3062 and every day or so I am getting very high CPU and Battery Usage with BBM running in the background.

  • SCCM 2012 R2 Deployment assistance and guide lines required.

    Hi All,
    We have purchased the system center suit and planed to deploy the below products in our environment.
    SCOM - Plan already made and architecture is ready with no issues
    SCCM - In planning state.
    We are planning to use the same SQL server for both SCOM and SCCM, Which is a SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 CU6. So the database engine service is available to host our database.
    But the Business has said we need to deploy reporting on another machine which may be a SQL 2012 SP1.
    What i want to know is does SCCM 2012 R2 support using different versions of SQL server for its features? As i see there is no documentation for this.
    How ever MS has given the document for SCOM that it is not supported and we need to use the same version of SQL for all the features.
    Also is SQL Express edition supported for other Primary sites if i use a licensed SQL in my CAS ? 
    Does any one have an idea on SCCM 2012 R2 for the above ?
    Gautam.75801

    Thank you very Grath. 
    Also my last and the remaining question is about the SQL Server version inter operability.
    Does using different versions of SQL work in SCCM ? i.E I use DB Engine SQL 2008 R2 SP1 CU6 and if i use SQL 2012 R2 for reporting. 
    Will this work in SCCM ? As for SCOM MS has said this in there document that using different versions of SQL's for features is not supported.
    So what is the case with SCCM is it the same or is it supported ?
    As the Microsoft documents do not talk about this question.
    The reason i asked is as the business does not have cost for Hardware for a SQL server and they are asking to use a SQL server in another domain for DB engine.
    And another SQL server for reporting as the DB engine server does not have reporting.

  • SCCM 2012 - Pull distribution point and target PKI or HTTPS DPs

    I have spent several days researching this and so far have found only a single page that even takes a stab at offering a solution.
    Problem:
    Trying to target an HTTPS DP when creating a pull distribution point in SCCM 2012 R2. The link that I'm referring to that does offer a workaround is here(guess I can't post a link, but it ends with the following, how-to-set-an-https-distribution-point-as-a-source-dp-for-pull-dps)
    I have several problems with the proposed solution.
    Is a script really the only way to proceed with something that has up till now been a built in feature with the rest of the product.
    You have to provision the DP to use a self signed cert initially for it to even work, then supposedly you can add the private key to the DP later.
    Does that mean I have to unbind the cert from both the pull and target/source push DP in IIS?
    Powershell which would be a logical way to go, doesn't seem to make any head way(Mr. Snover I know you don't oversee configman but please push for more documentation, you've taught me to live and die by get-help. A single example for a command as large
    as set-cmdistributionpoint or add-cmdistributionpoint is a shame. Perhaps my update help just didn't finish properly and I'm talking prematurely. If that is the case then I apologize!)
    Is there no other solution other than build the DP with a self signed cert then run this VB script and then switch the private key later? I have read through a lot of the pull DP documentation and it makes mention of leveraging the SDK but I haven't seen
    anything definitive. I would like to at the very least convert this from VB to powershell(if that script is the only option) and I know how to convert the portions where it's interacting with the site's WMI namespace (smsprovider if I'm not mistaken).
    What I don't know how to do, rather don't have the chops for is what comes after. The site control file piece, I see it's also WMI and I could spend the time stepping through the different piece and just might to learn more about SCCM in the lab anyhow. I've
    spent the last year getting to know powershell and have spent next to no time with VB. I know enough to recognize what a script is doing.
    The environment:
    The reason this is important for me is I'm about to start the production build(been all lab up till now) that is going to have just under 300 DPs in the field connected via T1 lines. They were all 07 secondary sites. I was thinking about migrating them using
    the migration tool but considering the amount of work its going to take if that link is the ONLY path to target a HTTPS DP then I might as well just spend the time and manually uninstall and reinstall the field DPs. The client count in the field is an average
    of 50 machines per site where there are on-prem devices... Total client count is around 25k. The primary site in the datacenter will house the majority of the site roles unless I start running into resource issues, at which time I will begin offloading site
    roles to one of two more servers that I have slated for the project. No CAS, no Secondaries. SQL is co-located on the primary.
    Ramblings:
    I'm sure there are more people out there using PKI, and using pull DPs. How have you managed to target your HTTPS enabled DPs? Security wants this to be a HTTPS only environment, and up until now I have successfully done that. If someone could please point
    me in the direction of some more thorough documentation I would be very grateful. I understand that this is a somewhat new feature, but there has to be an easier way. Perhaps powershell can cleanly do it with the set-cmdistribution point...but when I update
    help and do showwindow for the command I only get one example and so far haven't found any other stories like mine with the exception of the link I posted in the beginning.
    While I'm rambling, Wally there are a lot of us in the community that are going to miss your presence at Microsoft and should you read this I wish you luck with your new position. But that is a whole different topic. Thanks in advance for any links or help
    you can provide. -K.R.

    Yes, this is the only way, from
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712321.aspx#BKMK_PlanPullDps: "However, you can use the Configuration Manager SDK to specify a source distribution point that is configured for HTTPS. To use a source distribution point that is configured
    for HTTPS, the pull-distribution point must be co-located on a computer that runs the Configuration Manager client. "
    Does "why" really matter , who cares? It just is. Whether it was an oversight, a coding bug, or an act of God doesn't change anything. Why does there "have to be" an easier way? And what's wrong with using the VBScripts others have
    written? A script is a script is a script particularly if you've been given it already. Just because the hammer is pink doesn't mean it can't hammer the nail in.

  • Issue with SCCM 2012 SP1 U5 upgrade and client published version

    Recently we upgraded our SCCM server to SP1 U5, and our published and available client version is still at 5.00.7804.1000 instead of 5.00.7804.1600. We ran the hotfix to upgrade it and it looked like everything had went through. Does this not also
    upgrade the client? It doesn't seem like you can run the hotfix again after you've already installed it once to repair either. Is there another way to update the published version inside the console? We have it as a package right now to deploy to all the systems
    but I was hoping we could upgrade the internal one and let it run more automatically. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • SCCM 2012 Task sequense fails and reboots

    Hi,
    I've red a lot for this problem on the net, so first i am going to describe it, then explain the troubleshooting steps i have taken. 
    So i have SCCM 2012 and i am creating Build and Capture task sequence. I am using the default x64 build of SCCM 2012 R2 and i have injected the drivers in the image! I have configured everything and started VM with pxe to deploy the os. The task sequence
    started and then instantly failed on Preparing network connection. 
    The next time i rebooted and got to the TS i presed F8 and was able to view the smsts.log In there i found the following error:
    Failed to download pxe variable file. Code (0x80004005) Now correct me if i am wrong, but error 0x80004005 is Access Denied!
    Next i tested my network with ipconfig and i was able to receive answer. I have ip assigned, but interesingly enough i don't have ping to my sccm 2012 server.
    So i've redistributed the os, re-created the ts and the same result. Any ideas would be appritiated :)

    I am trying to ping it with its ip. I set it up to a static ip 10.10.10.10
    This is SCCM12 server as well as dns, dhcp, dc server :D
    The machine on the other hand have ip 192.168.195.137
    If it doesn't have connection to the server how is it starting the task sequence on the first place?
    I have no idea.
    PS. Interesting enough i discovered that i can in fact ping the server. But what i fot in responce was not ipv4, but instead ipv6?! Does this mean that i have to set up DHCP on ipv6 with options 60, 66 and 67?

  • SCCM 2012 R2 Disaster Recovery and the SCCMContentLib

    Hello all...
    Starting to update our DR recovery strategy to separate servers for SCCM 2012 R2, and I am wondering if there is anything special that needs to be considered when "replicating" the SCCMContentLib from one server to another server? 
    Is simply copying over the folders/files enough (via RoboCopy or another tool)?  Besides the folders/files is there something else that needs to be copied that maps the Content Library so its functional on a different server?
    Any insight/tips/tricks are greatly appreciated!

  • Parallels takes high CPU and makes fan go 6000RPM when device connected

    I'm running Mac OS 10.5.5 on an Early 2008 white base Macbook, with Boot Camp and Parallels (which runs my Boot Camp partition) so I can use Windows XP, which I need for some XP applications I need that don't work in Crossover.
    I usually keep Parallels running, with XP paused (since I occasionally need it and don't want to wait for it to boot and drain my battery). If I plug in a USB device, such as my wireless mouse or external hard drive, Parallels asks me if I want to connect the device to the XP system, but since I'm usually using OS X, I keep Parallels hidden. So, I don't see the prompt. Parallels then takes 100% CPU and forces my fan to increase to 6000+RPM from the high temperatures it creates. Even though the system is paused, when I plug in a device, it takes 100% CPU simply for having the prompt dialog box open. Any way to fix this?
    I have a base Macbook (Early 2008) upgraded to 4GB RAM (so I could actually use Parallels without both the systems being really slow).
    On another note, is it more battery-consuming to keep XP paused, or to shut it down altogether and boot it up later?
    Thanks.

    Make sure you've updated to the latest version Parallels, and you should probably consider posting your question in the Parallels forums:

  • High CPU and Disk usage on HP Envy TS 15 j-155nf after Windows Update

    I bought this laptop about a month ago and it worked perfectly fine until the second automatic Windows Update. The booting time got very slow and the entire system started to act laggy. Task Manager showed higher CPU usage than usual and Disk usage was sometimes up to 100% with no apps opened or running in the background. I decided to perform System Recovery using HP Recovery Manager. The laptop worked fine again after that, but then the same thing happened. After the second automatic Windows Update I'm back to a slow and laggy computer. I'm performing System Recovery again, but what can I do to prevent that from happening ?

    Hi,
    There are few things you can check:
    i) Check if you have more than one anti-virus installed..Check for Trial versions.If there is any then uninstall it.
    (Sometimes it could be that you have an anti-virus and windows defender or security essentials is also installed)
    ii) Next try a Clean Boot and check if it makes a difference. If clean boot fixes the issue then it has to be one of the application on the startup which is slowing it down..
    How to perform a clean boot
    iii) Run HP Support Assitant and check if there are any pending updates..
    Note:
    If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem

  • High CPU and Hanging iTunes

    If you're one of the folks who has been experiencing a hang in iTunes and high CPU, I have finally managed to break in with a debugger and get a call stack on the high CPU threads. There are two of them and they are both doing the same thing:

    I obviously don't have symbols for iTunes.exe, but my symbols for wininet are lining up fine. The problem is occuring in GlobalDataInitialize when iTunes calls it.
    I am posting this primarily for Apple's use. I have a dump file if anyone's interested.

    Okay, didn't take much time to figure out what's really going on.
    There are three iTunes threads that are waiting on critical sections. All three of those threads are the same. Once again, obviously no symbols for iTunes.

    Two of the threads that are holding the critical section are the same stack that I posted in my original post. The third is this:

    06d0ffb4 7c80b50b iTunes+0x35c0a0
    If I dig into this memory, I can see that it's setting a CacheLimit key. Unfortunately, I can't stay broken into iTunes long enough to know if this is still processing or not. If I try to continue and then break again, iTunes just quits.
    This repros when I click UPDATE in podcasts. I can repro it every time.
