Why not use the actual Intel drivers, instead of the ones provided by IBM?
I NEVER trust the vendor for the driver, except for the RAID card, SCSI
card, and certain Proliant servers.

The proset is ProSet II version 4.01
On 2 of the servers it gives me an error when I try to open it that says
Proset failed to initialize please restart the system or re-install the
adapter drivers.

Last time I tried to do a reinstall it sucked, so does anyone know the fix
from IBM for this, it say on their support site that I have to call the
support center and then they charge, not for the fix mind you, but for the
time to talk to the tech.  They kept making that point when I kept telling
them I shouldn't have to pay for it...

Maybe I should start a new thread or this one. 
Thanks all

Yeah.  But only when dealing with the older ProSET and upgrading to
ProSETII.  I haven't had a single issue with version 6< of the ProSET
software.

love is a strong word for a computer program ;) 

i just know from my experience that it does work if setup properly. 

there are a few MS articles on increasing buffers that we had to do on our
A-A fileclusters with 1.2Tb of disk behind them with AV turned on.

but all in all it does work. 

the intel proset drivers upgrade sucks, i usually have to remove the older
version totally, reboot (without network access as nics are gone) and then
install proset II

Not to butt in here, but I know how much John loves McAfee (NAI) AV, I have
always had issues with McAfee.  Both at the server and workstation level.

When was the last DAT update?  Have you attempted to manually apply a
SuperDAT?  I know that fixes "some" issues like this in the past for me.
Might want to try that.

That's interesting. Is it a load balanced team on the NICs, or a failover
team?

SP3 for win2k and sp2 for MetaFrame XPe. 

I uninstalled VS off of 2 of the 4 that crashed and everything has been
running fine on all 4 so I agree that VS isn't the issue unless it only

crashes when there are 4 servers with it running?  problem not.   I'll keep 
hunting 

Thanks

        Leon, 

         

        I would not scan outbound. But that's more like a
driver/compatibility issue, what you are seeing. I don't think it's related

- - -- but you could attempt to exclude tcpip.sys if you really believe that
AV is the issue (which personally, I don't). 

         

        What Service Pack are you on?

        So... I'm a dumb arse admin who needs a little help with this, 

        Are you saying that the ie scan is possibly causing the problem? 

        If so is it the the inbound and outbound or one or the other? 

        Am I incorrect in thinking that IE is a high risk process? 

        Do you have any other tuning tips that might help me?  

        Thanks in advance

                mcafee (and other av programs) dont kill servers, its dumb
arse admins who dont know how to configure it and leave it at default
settings that kill servers.

                 

                ie scan inbound and outbound by default, why would you do
that?

                        I'd put money on it that McCrappy AV is the culprit.

I'd call NAI first. If they can't help, I'd reapply your service pack. If
that doesn't work, I'd roll back to your previous AV. 

                         

                        Good luck!

                        Raff, 

                        We have a temp monitor that is reporting 77o F which

is within the specs.  Both the affected and unaffected servers are in the
same cabinet at a hosting facility so I think the environment is ok.  They
all are on the same subnet.  The only software changes were installing the
Virus Scan, but we had let it run on one server for about a week with no
problems, then did the others.  It is configured identically for each server
and is on all 6.  There have not been any updates to the hard/firm/software
other than that in the past month.  3 of the servers that went down are
identical in hardware to one that didn't, these all have dual 10/100 nics
and the 4th that went down is a newer server that has dual 10/100/1000 nics
The drivers are all up to date and identical for the 10/100s.

                        Thanks

                                I would also check outside the boxes for 
clues. When multiple boxes take a dump together, there is usually an
external cause.  Are the three affected servers on the same subnet or
network switch and different from the unaffected ones? Has anyone made any
hard/firm/software changes to network equipment that is in contact with the
affected servers? Do the affected servers all get their electrical power
from the same PDU and the unaffected ones differ?

                                 

                                Inside the boxes...do the affected servers 
share the same NIC's while unaffected servers differ? NIC drivers? 

                                 

                                HTH,

                                        Hello List 

                                        I just had all three of my Citrix 
application servers crash.  It was about 30 min. between the first 2 and
then about an hour till the 3rd went down.  We brought in a 4th that we keep
as a backup and it took about 15 min. for it to do the same.

                                        We are running W2K SP3 with Citrix 
MetaFrame XPe FR2 on IBM xSeries 330 servers with dual Netfinity NICs that
are teamed. 

                                        The most recent change that is 
consistent with all servers is that we installed Virus Scan v7 on all of
them.  We have a Data Store server and a file server both of which are fine.
The only ones that don't server the published desktop.

                                        This is about the 5th time this has 
happened, but never to all at once like this. 

                                        This is the message. 

                                        STOP: 0X000000D1

DATESTAMP 3cdaee1a - tcpip.sys 

                                        I got this off the blue screen, but 
it also has come up as a console message on them after they hang/crash. 

                                        I already tried uninstalling and 
reinstalling TCP/IP and the NIC drivers are up to date. 

                                        Also if anyone has any opinions on 
Teaming good or bad I would be interested.
