[THIN] Re: Reboot schedule

Good reasons!

 

My suggestion would be to go ahead and do the reboots more often but put in
place a rolling restart. That is, if your shifts are 8 hours, then have the
script disable logins for 8 hours. After the length of the shift has ended,
inform the users of the reboot and the bounce the server. Watch for the fact
that PS4 now maintains the state of Logon (enabled,disabled) after the
reboot...

In my older designs we used to restart nightly and it seemed that we had
less problems. We are integrated with Novell here and we constantly seem to
lose profiles connections (which are on the NW server). We also have some
home grown applications. In addition we are experiencing the now familiar
Auto create printer issues that others have mentioned on this board.  A
restart seems to stop these problems. I wonder if I just went ahead and did
this nightly if it would eradicate the issues totally.

 

 

The difference in this location is that we offer remote usage 24 hours a
day. I realize I could stagger the restarts, and that users will get
notified when the servers are restarting.

 

We will be building a new farm with Windows 2003 and no Novell soon but
until then I see the restarts as a good measure to take. Of course any
suggestions against or for are always welcome.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Mark

What are your reasons for wanting to reboot more often?

After encountering quite a few recent issues I have been considering
restarting my farm more often than once a week. In smaller farms with older
versions of Citrix I used to restart nightly. It seems to me that I am
finding more and more reasons to do this and I thought I would tap the
general knowledge of the group.

 

I guess my question is "Is this still a normal thing to do?" 

 

I currently run MPS 4.0 with W2k. 

 

Thanks,
