How is your processor utilization?

Usually, the indexing process is more processor intensive.

Hello Pit

MaxNumIndexProcesses should not be more than 2x processor cernels (= 2 x number of processors you see in the task manager > Performance). Unfortunately for you, the amount of RAM doesn't help.

under Programs > Legato EmailXtender > Support > EmailXtender Performance there is an indicator for the processor utilisation.

This'll give you the insight of what the processor is busy with. -> I only get more than 50% utilisation if reindexing some volumes. Otherwise this service has only peaks around 30%.

Are the disks for the index fast enough; are they keeping up with the load?

Hope this helps. Don't mind getting EMC support involved. They are good in tuning a system.

Jochen.

Hi Jochen Köcher


I have 8 processors. Can i put 16 as max in "maxnumindexProcesses"?

In EmailXtender Performance, what is the instance to processor use?

Regards and thanks

Hi Pit,

wow, 8 processors (probably 4 physical?) is quite something. What physical hardware do you have? Well, you can try changing the MaxNumIndexProcesses to 16; though this sounds high. If you have had 6 before, you might want to start with 12.

This value will allow more processes, but the system will decide to create/use them. My MaxNumIndexProcesses is set to 8, but see only 3. Only when I had a corrupt index and need to reindex a lot, this will increase over time (some minutes). - exIndexSrvc is the service, but the exIndex, exIndex#1, etc. will do the work.

Sorry, don't understand what you mean by "what is the instance to processor use". There you'll see how much processor utilisation is required for each service/task.

Does this help? Regards.

I will try with 12 .

I tell you something.

thanks Jochen Köcher

Respect to "EmailXtender Performance", I have understand.

thanks.
