Good Morning Listers,


*The Problem:*

We have lots of escalation traffic running on our system, which causes our
current Windows Escalation server to be over-taxed.  To the best of my
knowledge, there is no way to run escalations on more than one server at
any given time.



*Solution Attempted:*

So, we are in the process of standing up and configuring a new AR server on
Solaris 10, hoping that this will have more horsepower to handle the large
traffic.  But we are having some issues.



First off, we are not seeing the increase in processing time that we had
hoped for.  We are also seeing various errors show up whenever escalations
fire workflow that touches the CTM:People form.  It’s important to note
that these do not show in the arerror.log, but rather they appear in the
Putty session that was used to start the AR Server process.  Examples of
errors are as follows:



Error signaling server <server name>

   Message number : 91

   Message :  RPC call failed

   Appended : RPC: Unable to receive; An event requires attention

Status Struct :

   Message type : ERROR



Error signaling server <server name>

Status List : 1 items

in thread "Status List : 1 items

   Message number : 90

main   Message :  Cannot establish a network connection to the AR System
server

"    Appended : <server name>: RPC: Success



 Message :  RPC call failed

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
http://localhost:8080/rkm/fromRemedy/jsp?reset=remedyUsers   Message type :
ERROR



There are other issues as well, such as the ARDBC Plugin appearing to load
repeatedly every 10 minutes or so, after the AR Server starts.  We have
tried increasing and decreasing the List and Fast threads.  The Escalations
that we are testing are running on dedicated pools, and we have added the
necessary threads to support those pools.  The server does not show that it
is being maxed out on memory or CPUs.



*Bottom Line:  *

I think we just do not have this Solaris box configured correctly for
Remedy.  Perhaps we are approaching this with a “Windows” mentality and
missing some key steps.  So, my question is; is there anyone out there that
is knowledgeable in configuring AR Servers on Solaris, and/or has seen
these issues before.  I could really use some pointers here as I am trying
to guide the customer in the right direction, with my limited
experience/knowledge in UNIX environments.



*Here are our specs:*

ARS 7.1 p11

ITSM 7.0

DB Oracle10 running on Solaris 10

All AR Servers are running on Windows Server 2003, (with the exception of
the new Escalation server which is running on Solaris 10)

We have a dedicated AR Server for Administrator functions and a dedicated
server for Escalations.



Thanking all you Solaris Gurus in Advance,



Ron
