1. What application(s) are running on the server?
We have around 100/150 users at any one time running an in-house app written in c, that access's various CISAM database files ranging in size from 100KB to 70MB.
2. How are the filesystems laid out?
The various database files are spread between three file systems. We use Solstice Disk Suite to stripe and mirror the file systems.
3. How much memory (physical) in the server?
2 GB
4. How much swap space?
4GB
5. What (if any) disk management software is being used?
SDS.
6. Do you have top installed? What does it show as the top processes during the 'problem'?
top doesn't show any process using more than 1 or 2 percent CPU during the "slowdown". Also, the %usr figures from sar during these times are very low, so it doesn't seem to be related to a user process.
7. Has the problem always occurred?
The problems has been occuring for a few months now.
8. What changed recently - more users, more data, more cron jobs, more applications, ....
There have been some changes to the applications and increased data over the last 6 months or so. However, my feeling is that these changes have not caused the problem. We have another identicle machine that has had all the same changes, but is not
experiencing any performance issues.
The users experience extremely slow response times when the performance drops. BAsically the system is almost unusable for them for a few minutes.
The main thing I can't understand is why the disks are indicating 100% busy while the performance problems occur, yet there is very little (less than the normal amount) being written during these times.
