Subject: [THIN] SMB Current Commands and SMB tuning
Hello,
I've been digging into SMB tuning for our PS 4.5 Server 2003 x64 citrix farm
as our farm currently doesn't have MaxMpxCt or MaxCmds set on our servers.
I am confused by the results of the Redirector\Current Commands output in
perfmon. That counter is defined as: "counts the number of requests to the
Redirector that are currently queued for service" however the graph over
time is quite flat when I could expect a queue graph to look spikey. Is
that counter a combination of the outstanding SMB requests plus something
else?
I've got an un-tuned server that hit 57 today without any reported issues
when I would have expected it to cap at 50 or start exhibiting problems at
that level.
Anyone know why those counters are fairly flat? Is there a better way to
see if I'm hitting MaxCmds or do people just set it higher regardless?
Thanks,
