[THIN] Re: Citrix Load Evaluator / Total Sessions per Server & Application

Troy,

Which of the load evaluator rules seems to be the limiting factor?  I'm 
guessing its memory.  If you're running the same application across all 
your servers, do the instances of the application on the 19 'bad' servers 
have a bigger memory footprint than the application instances on the 1 
'magic' server?

We experienced an issue like this where a handful of our servers were 
receiving a different anti-virus configuration that was causing each 
instance of IE to take a bigger memory footprint than on the other 
servers.

[THIN] Citrix Load Evaluator  /  Total Sessions per Server & Application






Hey all,

We've had a small issue for the past year, and I can't seem to find an 
answer about it.

We started a new 4.5 farm this time last year and have an application that 
is published & load-managed across 20 servers. 

There is a custom load-evaluator is built on these 4 "Assigned Rules": 
Application User Load, Load Throttling, Memory Usage, Server User Load. 

Overall, this load-evaluator appears to be working well for our userload; 
per server and per application. 

Except... One server seems to always have about 10-20% more total sessions 
then the other 19 servers.

Over thousands of session - the 19 servers will all be within a range of 
100 or so total sessions, but this one server will be always at the top of 
the list for total sessions by several hundred more sessions for any time 
period.

Theoretically - all of these are equal.

At anytime I run a "qfarm /app" (during average workday) - all of my 
servers are in the 4500-6000 load range.
In the "Presentation Console" everything is running against this 
load-evaluator.
Also, We have Citrix Edgesight collecting data, that looks normal other 
than the total session count. 
My performance statistics appear fairly normal at anytime we take a look.
The application is installed identically across the 20 servers.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Troy
