Hello experts
Running into an issue, would be great to get your thoughts.
We are on 9.0 tools 8.98.4.10, Win28KR2 boxes with SQL 2008R2 backend. Like any good install, we have two boxes, one for batch, the other for logic/security.
Issue: We have some UBE' that are taking upto four hours to complete with submitted to that batch server. The same exact UBE, when submitted to the logic/security server, it runs in one hour.
Both boxes are identical in hardware, they are not VM's. The have virtually the same RAM, one is 28GB, the other is 24Gb - both connected to the same switch with the rest of its cousins, the database and web servers. Full and update packages are always built for both boxes, no inconsistency between the two.
I've checked the network card setting,s both boxes are set to 1gigabit connection.
Using server manager, I've compared both boxes, virtually no difference in their configuration.
Just ONE area I thought 'may' be an issue, not sure if both boxes are patched with windows updates evenly but I'll get them equal by tomorrow.
I was suggested to set the 'locked pages in memory' setting for the service account so the OS won't go to the swap file.
Lastly, in checking the performance indicators on the batch server, the CPU hasn't peaked beyond 30% during the past 10 days and the memory hasn't peaked beyond 12GB.
any clues ???
thanks for your time.
