I've been seeing these resource figures everyday now since my whole nightmare began but couldnt be bothered complaining anymore. These issues must be affecting other customers not just me
2 weeks of customer sites going down every afternoon at 3pm, how goods that????

[MasCon]

damn.. and they haven't installed bigger hd yet?

damn ...as cheap as they are//what is it like a tera byte of HD for under $500.

CPU loads over 90%...how hard is it to kill some services? I am having some delay issues where web developers are telling my clients the servers respond to slow and are inconsistant. I hope they get this resolved soon.

damn ...as cheap as they are//what is it like a tera byte of HD for under $500.

15Krpm SCSI Drives aren't and this is what they used to run in all boxes, not sure if they've moved to SATA now or not but you still pay a premium for SCSI and their capacity is much smaller than your common desktop SATA drives.

Loads over 90% aren't unusual especially if this snapshot was taken whilst the backups were in full swing .. though high 60min and particularly 1440min average CPU are a bit of a worry.

[MasCon]

OK, but still ..any HD over 80% is signing up for the "Oh Sh*t" factor no? I dont know if these are RAID but man they got some full hd's - and folks are having issues and the power failure probably the other night didn't help those lil fellers. VT does a good job, I like the product, I like the support and I love the community here.

OK I spent my 2 cents.

[Brangwyn]

Depends on which drive really, system drive (C) at 80% I wouldn't worry much about personally .. looks like they're 36GB Drives which would to me indicate they're the SCSI's I mentioned earlier too .. 6GB free is more than enough for a server for use as temp file space etc

The data drives being higher obviously are a concern and they'll be upgraded at some stage no doubt.

[Danl]

Hey everybody, I'm gonna have to agree, NT44 is in desperate need of an upgrade. Whether or not I am suppose to be saying this is really besides the point. It causes an insane amount of annoyance for me and I'm sure it causes even a larger amount of annoyance for you all. I'll be bringing this up to our level 3 tech's tomorrow to see if we can't fix this machine and get it so it won't go down at 1 a.m. EST like it does everyday. As for 80% disk usage, that really isn't that big of a deal. Either way I'll be discussing this with our admin's tomorrow to see if we can get a fix for this.

Great NT45 doesn't seem to be in great shape either add that to the list as well please !

[crocman]

My customer that has the 3 websites on nt44 that have been going offline everyday for the last few weeks at 3 in the afternoon(AEST) isnt in such great shape either - problem is they're harder to replace.

Good luck Dan, I really appreciate your response to my tickets today

I must say however that all the support staff that have dealt with my endless tickets in regard to this matter have been nothing short of understanding, polite and professional
