Hi Rick,

 

It is a big jump!

 

Unfortunately we have to run SP5 because one of our apps won't run past
this.

 

Yep, I've already turned the Hyper threading off.

 

I'll try getting a crash dump and have a look at that.

 

One c: 4GB partition and d: 32GB partition

 

Thanks for your ideas.

 

Richard

Hi Richard, 

There's a bit of a gap in driver age between the 5500 and DL360 G3. 

Do you have to run SP5? 

If you've got processors with hyperthreading, disable hyperthreading.
Disable the remote management facility. Consider putting an older NIC in the
servers rather than using the on-board NICs.

Are you getting a crash dump? That may at least tell you which drivers etc
are taking the servers out. 

If you arene't getting a crash dump, then consider running a server in debug
mode with a PC running windbg (kernel debugger mode)  plugged in to the
server via a null modem cable.

When you moved to the DL360's , you obviously had larger disks. Did you take
the opportunity to make a bigger system partition?

Regards, 

Rick

Hi, 

We have a farm of 9 Compaq Dual CPU DL360 G3 servers with 2GB RAM that
replaced the same number of Proliant 5500 servers.  They are all running
NT4TS SP5 with Metaframe 1.8 SP3 and have about 30 - 40 users on each and
are not over utilized.

We never had many problems with the 5500 servers but ever since putting in 
the 360's we keep getting lots of BSOD.   At least one of the servers will 
go of each day. 

The error in the eventlog is: 

The system encountered a bugcheck prior to this boot.  The bugcheck data 
was: STOP: 0x0000000A (0xC0503000, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x80133C61). 

Can anyone give me a pointer on this?   I have already started looking at 
printers as a possible problem.  Mostly HP with some Xerox. 

Thanks. 

Pulling my hair out!! 

Richard
