CroX Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hello everybody, I have a big problem. I buy 4months ago a new server with this config: 2x E5430 2.66ghz 6x 2gb kingstom FBDIMM 2x HDD WD raptor I have windows 2003 server and TCadmin for manage the gameserver. In this server like 2weeks ago I have a big problem of lag, crashing and something else. I have 20 server on this server with 10% of cpu usage but a lot of ram usage, about 9gb. Can I optimize the server? can reduce the usage of ram? because i think there is a problem in this server, it's impossibile have that big problem of lag in this new server... Tnx a lot ps: sry for my bad english ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swish Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Add more ram or reduce the # of services on the box.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickPuppy Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Yes there are some things you can do and should do to optimize the server. The RAM usage will depend on the type of game servers you are running and the size of the Windows page files. If you set the value too high it reduces performance and will cause lag if you set it too low it will use too much RAM The lag could also be an issue with the network and the amount of bandwidth you are using. Just because the server can handle 20 game installs does not mean that the network connection can. What types of games are you running? Open the task manager and see which ones are using the most RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroX Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 cod4 use most ram. There isn't connection problem, I have a 100mbps direct from the milano internet exchange. How to reduce the ram usage by all the process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Crothers Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 100mbit can handle even 20 64 slot BF2142 servers. No idea where you pulled that number out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnx a lot ps: sry for my bad english ^^ I'm failing to see how you are using so much RAM with 20 servers? Even if you said each server was using 350mb this would only use 7GB. Are you running any other RAM heavy software? What Microsoft Server version are you using? Also do you host your MYSQL on the same box? if so have you set it up to run as a MYSQL server? One other thing you mentioned that this happened two weeks ago, was it a one time occurrence or is it happening all the time? If only one time it could have been a dos attack.

Johnny5_Hull Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I wouldn't chalk it up as a dos attack, that would affect the network performance and connectivity. It could however be a virus/malware/nasty script...... whats your security like? Do you run a firewall, antivirus etc etc? It could be that some of the servers are running mods which have leaky script. Had you had the server running for a while without being restarted? Regularly restarting a machine (1nce a week is usally good enough) can keep memory and cpu usage getting out of hand. Also, what are the 20 servers you are running? As although as steven pointed out, 100mbs will handle 20 64slot BF2142 servers, if all full, the memory usage ram may get a bit feisty. If you can let us have an update then I'm sure that between us on here we should be able to point you in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougK94 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I would look to see what all processes are running and which one or ones are stealing your ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroX Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 some process take from 300 to 150 but the server are unplayable.... Lag and connection losts, how to decide the page file saize? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goran Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Can you tell us which kind of servers do you host? Maybe cod2 , cod4 , css? Please send through mass mail to your users to modify the servers through server.cfg and not through cod rcon tool, it takes some space.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
