Army.ca Status- The History of Outages & Dark Days

[Mike Bobbitt]

It will definitely help, it's just a question of "how much?" I'm banking on it being fairly signficant, but if it's not enough, we now have the capacity to jump to 4Gb if needed.

I realize RAM is not the only contributing factor but in many of the site slowdowns we've seen recently, our current 2Gb has been 100% utilized.


Cheers
Mike

Either that or get everyone to chip in and get this server with 64 GB of RAM http://configure.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=ca&CS=CABSDT1&l=en&oc=OCPEDGE6800_RBP_BSD

;D

Just a thought

Just a though

...provided the svr OS can "see and handle" that much RAM...of course... ;D

brand new svr HW and SW sounds good to Mike I bet

The one from my link or the existing one  ???

 

[17thRecceSgt]

...the new one that you linked too  ;D

 

[Nfld Sapper]

LOL

I would make the assumption that it could why else would they put 64GB memory as an option if it couldn't.

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

Don't worry, we run Linux. As for the "replacement server" plan, did you notice this:

64GB DDR2 400MHZ(16X4),2R, Dual Ranked DIMMS [add $69,100 or $2,206/month1]

Yeah I did but at least it gives you some options.

If you need money ,just turn in your empty beer bottles, all you need is 57584 doz.  ;D

And I was always wondering that Mike...thanks!

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

Yes, yes, the memory is coming Any Day Now.

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

Good news folks, the new RAM has arrived so there will be a brief outage tonight (likely 1730 ET but maybe later) while it is installed. After that, feel free to put Army.ca through it's paces and see if we have resolved the slowdowns.

 

[Mike Baker]

Well, now we know it's comming, but it will still suck.

 

[Pea]

You're going to force all us Westerners to have to work for our last 1-2 hours....  :crybaby:

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

...and we're back with 50% more RAM.

 

[Pea]

Well, it seems to be absolutely flying for me now! Thanks Mike!

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

Excellent... we've just surpassed our old memory limit. Normally we'd be starting to slow down, but I see we're still cruising along.
