One for the IT Techies...
« on: 09 November 2007, 18:42:36 »
Well, 2 actually, as 2nd question will be posted a bit later....

What looks immediately obviously wrong with the OOF server? (and no, PaulM, its not that the host runs Windoze)



Guess what I'm going to be splashing out on when I get out of the bath!

I had the answer a minute ago but my memory must be failing me.

It's no good, this virtual stuff.

to be honest, normally feels fine to use from here, occasional sluggishness, but nothing like we used to have  :y

Yeah, much better since the upgrade :y

The fact that it hasn't come to its' knees makes me think it's not using most of that memory on a very regular basis. Not sprung a leak, has it?

I'd put more RAM in - swapping to flash memory?

Also would a reboot help - seeing it is on Windows

Flash is a very poor disk due to poor data rentention/integrity if constantly written.  No, it pages to disks.


Its a Windows server, only reboots it needs is for patching ;)

Is that a virtual machine or the real one?
