Sorry, I meant Citrix Service Pack level. You said FR2, but SP2 as well?

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

Leon

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 have mcafee 7.1 on 80 servers so far, file servers, citrix 2000,
citrix 2003, flie clusters, web clusters, exchange servers, you name it.

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

Leon,

 

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,

 

Raff

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 (0X00000006,0X00000002,0X00000001,0XBFA239A9)
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
ADDRESS BFA239A9 BASE AT BFA29000, 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.

Thanks
