Solaris 10 server(v490) very slow backup

Recently deployed Solaris 10 server(v490) into env consisting of SBU server solaris 8 (Networker 7.3). Solaris 10 system is only backing up at a rate of 125 or less Kbytes/sec. 3 other machines(solaris 8) are backing up at a rate of 17 to 20 Mb/sec. The switch that they are connected to is set to 100mbs, full duplex. When I do an "ndd -get ???", all 1's are displayed. 100hdx, 100fdx, autoneg......
Should I execute commands to make it run100fdx? If so, what are the ndd commands(if i should still use ndd)?
please email me at "[email protected]".

You can force the NIC to use onlu 100fdx like this: (in an RC-script or so)
(Pls. verify that the switch is able to realy leverage 100fdx. (Quite a few of the older switches can't, even if they say so)
Otherwise You may force each end to use half duplex)
ndd -set /dev/hme instance 0
ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100fdx_cap 1
ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100hdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10fdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10hdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/hme adv_autoneg_cap 0
or in /etc/system (for all hme instances) :
set hme:hme_adv_100fdx_cap = 1
set hme:hme_adv_100hdx_cap = 0
set hme:hme_adv_10fdx_cap = 0
set hme:hme_adv_10hdx_cap = 0
set hme:hme_adv_autoneg_cap = 0

Server is very slow

Hi,
My oracle R12 server is very slow. I mean to say that any query or request which I give takes long time to execute.
How to tune it? any commends or procedure?

Which is the main causes to server slow down???.....How to solve this problem????

The first message seems to indicate that a connection was made on the socket but closed prematurely. I get this often on my Tomcat installation when our corporate virus scanners kick in, probing network ports. I wouldn't worry about that one.
The second one is indicating a deadlock on your database. I would say that your problem lies there.

2) Tell me Please How to find out the Procedure /Query which is taking long OR using more server memory.
3) How to Should I Check why Server is Slow?
4) If My Server is Very Slow then what should I do first.

Re: query is running slow i.e., like delete,insert

VERY slow backup to external Hard Drive

I have an older external HD case (New Motion) with a Western Digital 120GB Hard Drive that I use for backup, firewire only.
I use this drive on my old slot loading iMac G3 (10.3.8) and it runs very fast, copying 16GB from the iMac to the backupin about 15 minutes.
When I connect the backup drive to my G5 iMac (10.4.2) it runs VERY slow at night, taking 6 hours to copy the same amout of information.
I notice that during the day it takes less time, but still about 1.5 hours. (The night/day differences are consistent).
Is this an issue with Tiger or a setting in Tiger or how Tiger talks to firewire, or an issues with the G5 iMac? (Both firewire ports work fine with my iPod updating music).

Hi robfromkinglake west,
Try and isolate the issue. Check if it's only with this drive.
Check the drive with Disk Utility

I've never seen a drive take 20 minutes to mount.

Very Slow Backup

I have a 500 GB USB hard drive that I can move files to very quickly. When I select it as my Time Machine Hard Drive the the backup runs very slow. According to the tracking bar it's only backing up about 100 MB every 2 min + I stopped spotlight from indexing the drive but it didn't make a noticeable difference. The drive is currently formated Extended but I've tried Extended (Journaled) also. The backup seems to be working and I have not seen a large performance hit. It just seems to be very slow.
Does anyone have an idea what I could have wrong?
Thanks

You probably are not in any danger. The first TM backup has huge amounts of things to do beside just copying your boot volumes data. It builds a data base and collects a bunch of other info to keep track of things.
How much data does Time Machine pref panel show it has to backup ?
Let's say it's 150 GB. Then a USB2 device will get on average around 12 MB/sec. That's some 43 GB per hour. Thus for 150 GB the backup will take 3.5 hrs.
Be patient and let TM backup finish.
Are you see a rotating set of arrows in the Finder side bar to right of your TM backup USB device ? Also, there could be a small backup status window floating about somewhere that shows the backup progress as well.

Weblogic server runnin very slow

Hi
My weblogic 11g server is running very slow
The system configurations is
Windows 2003 Os
2.99 GB RAM
Pentium 4 CPU
2.99 GHs
can u please advice me for suitable configuration for increasing the speed.
or is there any other reason for slow process
thanks in advance
GiriBabu

If you're running Webcenter Spaces, this will be very slownly with this configuration.
I have the same configuration plus 2gb of swap. If I start space my machine running very slow too.

Server Admin very slow, rotating status thing spins forever

Whenver I log into the Server Admin on my 10.4 server either locally or remotely, it is very slow. When the machine was first installed it was quite quick.
Now, I am trying to edit log settings for domains and it takes 5 minutes to stop turning each time.
There is no status indicator, and no error message (which is unfortunately currently typical of Apples server admin programs).
What can I do to start diagnosing the problem? Has anyone had this before?

This is fairly common I believe. What OS version are you running on the server?
I've had problem with this, especially under 10.4.2 and 10.4.3. In 10.4.5 this works better.
I might also be the result of the servermgrd bug that 10.4.4 was ment so solve.
Check if servermgrd is taking a lot och cpu. If that is the case, try the following command: killall -HUP servermgrd (probably needs sudo as well)
I'm hoping Apple will solve this soon. Here is a workaround, but I prefer a real fix: http://www.aaronadams.net/index.php/2005/10/10/reignin_an_out_of_control_servermgrdpr

Very slow Backup (Many little file in many subdirectories)

- I have a Netware 6.5 SP8 server with the post SP8 NSS patch installed (NSS version 3.27.01 April 7, 2009)
- iSCSI Initiator Version 1.06.05 October 30, 2008 connecting a 410 GB NSS Volume (Lefthand Networks iSCSI SAN)
- the volume contains user data, and contains, from the Root, a USERDATA directory, which then contains 32,749 individual user directories.
- The majority (90%) of the user directories are empty
- each user directory has it's own trustee assignment, and space restrictions
- compression is enabled
- 376,269 Files using 45,556,460,661 bytes in 221,439 directories so the average would be around 121K per file and as you can see it's very Directory intensive
TSATEST, indicates approximately 850 MB/min result, but when I attempt to back up the data using my backup software (NetVault, which uses NDMP), the performance is hideous. A Full Backup runs around 135k/sec or 8 MB/min (try getting that done in any size backup window) . I have also tried other backup solutions, with the same basic result.
I assume the issue is with indexing, but I'm not sure what to check at this point. I've been trying every suggestion I could find. I've gotten the throughput up to about 1.5M/s, but obviously need better. Just wanted to know if anyone here had any suggestions that might help me to make this function more efficiently, or any TID's that have proven helpful.
Thank You!

I have seen this in Java development shops with millions of 1kb files
and folders. The nature of Java.
- Use tar or zip on the local server,not across the wire to compress
those types of data folders.
- Exclude those folders from backup
- Then backup only the zip or tar files.
or maybe look into rsync as I think is copies by hardware blocks not
files?????
- maybe need toreview your environment if it is a development shop like
Java.Maybe switch to GPFS or Reiser for many small files if you can, EXT
could handle it for your small amount of data though.

Flash player terminal server Nomachine very slow firefox 3.0.3

Hello all,
I have a serious problem which i cannot reolve by myself.
When using firefox 3.0.3 and flash 9.0.124 and 10 in a
terminal server environment with bandwidth limit to 320k firefox is
slowing down because of the limit in bandwidth.
The terminal server software caps the bandwidth usage because
we run an controlled internet environment for our business safety
and there are more then 3000 users logged in so the bandwith should
be capped for performance reasons.
When i play a flash movie from youtube or visiting sites like
http://www.derbauer.de then the
terminal server software just tels the software that it cannot
process that much bandwidth so the application slows down.
Now i have off course multiple options:
1 disabling flash (not very nice to users)
2 raise the limit (less users in our environment or more
costs for extra hardware)
3 asking Nomachine to drop frames are do something fancy with
it.
4 make an option in the flash plugin to say play this video
with only 1 frame per second
The last isn't very nice for people either but flash
applications still work only viewing flash video's is not as good
as people want.
What are your thoughts on this?
With kind regards
William van de Velde

EDIT: Oh, and you have very little free RAM and lots of Page Outs. So, in fact, first thing to do is to simply restart and only have FF open and test.
First thing to do is to start FF in Safe Mode and see how it's working. This will temporarily disable all Add-ons and use a clean Profile. If it's running OK there, then it's time to look at your Add-ons to find a culprit, or start with a new clean Profile.
Hold down the Option (alt) key when opening FF.
You should also get rid of the steam clean thing. Those cleaning programs, if that's what this thing is, are dangerous and not needed.

Time machine issues - ejecting time machine server volumes and slow backups

i've got 2 client machines set up to back up using the OS X 10.5 Server - problem is one is a laptop and therefore needs to be disconnected from the office network frequently. Time Machine doesn't seem to want to let go of the Server drive at all - just won't unmount. Any ideas on this?
In addition, if a backup is running and then interrupted, the next backup runs at absurdly slow speeds. Is there any way to remedy this?
Also, are there any good resources on Time Machine out there? the Apple docs are pretty paltry, and although I understand that its operation is supposed to be dead simple, it would be good to understand how it thinks a bit so as to be able to troubleshoot problems like the ones described above.
thanks in advance

Time Machine Endless/Very Slow Backup

Hi All,
I've recently encountered a situation in which Time Machine never seems to think it's finished backing up. In the screenshot below you'll see that it's backing up the exact same amount of data from my HD and an external drive called "Movies" (first time 234.6mb & then started again and updated 41.5mb). The thing is, absolutely nothing was changed in the "Movies" drive, it hasn't been touched or synced with anything since the last backup. I'm thinking that's some kind of clue, but not sure what kind of clue it is. I have done many of the things listed here (including "full reset of time machine" and :
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2057525?threadID=2057525
As well as run Clean My Mac, Repaired Permissions, verified & repaired "Movies" (it was OK), and run Yasu.
Last backup ran for :31min and nothing much had changed. This just started happening recently as outside of major activity TM used to back up in just a few minutes. The good news is the backup was completed successfully, but would love to know what anybody thinks might be the culprit. Oh also backing up to external HD with 1.3TB avail (MB Pro with 750gb HD).

Following the advice of the great Pondini and others, I found a series of steps that worked to correct this situation on ALL my machines!
Here is a link to Pondini's excellent troubleshooting site, which is where I found most of these steps. You might consider just going there and ignoring my steps below, because he is definitely the expert in this field.
http://Pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
The below is kind of a "nuclear option." Not sure which step does what, but know that after doing all of them my incremental backups are now running at :10 - :20 SECONDS where they were taking 40 minutes to an hour before (be forewarned, it takes a while to do all this).
Turn TM off!
Use Disk Utility "repair disk" function on ALL disks (TM, Mac HD, any others that get backed up). Open Disk Utility, select disk, then select "repair disk."
Instead of #2, you might consider using Disk Warrior to rebuild your directories. It costs about $100, but it's an extremely valuable tool and can save your sauce in many ways. Honestly I would advise buying DW and doing that instead of the Disk Utility option, which, while free, does not seem to be as robust a solution.
An alternative to repairing the TM drive is to just start over with a clean, correctly formatted drive (see below). You should still repair/rebuild your MacHD and any other drives that get backed up, though.
Trash this file: com.apple.TimeMachine.plist (found in MacHD > Library > Preferences).
Repair Permissions on MacHD
In System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy add MacHD (your main/boot drive) to Privacy pane, close system preferences, then reopen and remove it (add and remove using -/+ at the bottom of the window). This will force Spotlight to re-index MacHD (wait until it's finished to do anything else).
Make sure your TM HD is formatted properly: should be using the GUID partition table (even if it's not partitioned) and be formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). These settings will appear at the bottom of the Disk Utility window when you select the HD itself (not by its volume name). If you are not formatted this way, it's recommended that you reformat. Unfortunately, this means your existing backups will be no more (unless you have another drive you can use and preserve the old one until you're safely backed up again).
Reset PRAM. Restart your mac and hold down these keys simultaneously: option command p r. Hold them down until you hear the second "restart" chime.
Enter TM preferences and re-select TM disk (when you trash plist TM will "forget" the drive, but all the info is still on the drive) but don't let TM run yet.
In TM options make sure any disks you prefer to exclude/include are either entered or not (TM HD should always & automatically be excluded)
In System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy make sure TM disk is excluded from Spotlight (using +/- as above).
Finally, enter Time Machine and go through your backups to see if there are any backups that shouldn't be there: should be one backup every hour for the past day, one backup every day for the past month and weekly backups before that. If you find more than one backup on a day 3 weeks ago, for example, delete all but the most recent one for that date (on the window of the backup you want to delete you should see the "gear" icon with a dropdown arrow - click on it and select "delete backup."). You have to delete them one at a time so depending on how many you find & how big your backups are this step can take a very long time but it's critical to making sure TM doesn't get hung up on the "finishing" phase. If TM looks back in time and finds more backups than it wants it's supposed to just delete them but it doesn't always work that way and that's one of the issues that can make the finishing stage of the backup take forever.
Restart your Mac.
Restart TM & hope for the best.

Windows Server 2012 very slow performance executing files
