Very Computer

Hi Group

100 User site with dual CPU's 512 MB Ram. D3 7.2.1 , RH 7.2. Twice or
more a week we have to reboot the system as performance dies. I am
wondering if anyone else out there has had similar issues with a similar
configuration. Has RH7.2 got severe memory leaks. A top shows that out
of 512 mb ram there is on 40+mb available. Any ideas / comments most
welcome.

Cheers

My understanding is that

1) D3 "takes" all of the memory that has been allocated to it at
startup

2) TOP doesn't work real well with INDIVIDUAL D3 process threads ...
seems to show "crazy" memory figures at times

3) What are your files sizes like in D3 ... poorly sized files in this
environment can have a dramatic impact ... transaction files growing
during the week ?

4) If all else fails, can you roll back to the "supported" RH7.1
platform (or call your local distributor :-)

Unfortunalty, RDBMS D3 (NT or Linux/PROPlus) has not a mechanism of
arvicate
service log file (as record in TCL-STACK, POINTER-FILE and others)
You have to do yourself manual or using PICK/BASIC Program which It
will be clear these files. Why RD doesn't undestand it? The OVF
Cleaner or OVF reconfig inside D3, and which works in an work hours
Why not ?

And I add follow I MUST refragmentation D3 ovf space, very easy way
 file-save and D3 /restore, variant hot-back-up works but It has
several OF problems and e.t.c, but You can try in the first
hot-back-up

AND YOU REMEMBER 15-20% free RDMS disk space is a VERY HARD SIGNAL of
reconfiguration your system.

I add, install D3 RDBMS as separate disk partion (signature d8), this
way helps increase performance your system, usually

1 Unix native xxx GB.
2 Unix swap   xxx GB.
3 D3 RDBMS    xxx GB.
4 Unix extended-
 5 /usr       xxx
 6 /var/log/  xxx
 7 /home      xxx
 8 ....
 n ...
other disk space I cut 1950 Mb. (Future devices for D3)

And again check module all often using D3 file

I use a same Linux disk structure more 3+ years and say It works good.
