Pretty sure it's that the various sizing calculators from Microsoft always base figures on physical/actual number of cores. When you introduce HT, you're not really giving yourself double the number of CPUs in raw performance, so any planning based on the calculators goes out the window. We

Thanks for the responses. I can appreciate the technical reasoning that Michael pointed out, but I'm also curious if this reasoning holds true with current Westmere or Sandy Bridge chipsets. In regards to the recommendation from Microsoft, it comes across as if they don't trust the person

Oh. It happens because RPC_IN and RPC_OUT channels get confused. My understanding is that on smart LBs you can do some extra affinity checking, but I haven't looked at it in detail, because redirecting to a single CAS is much easier. Insofar as it being fixed - I have no clue. Exchange 2013

Sorry for confusion. That's the lingo that was used in my documentation. So now I'm curious... Does this mean that by keeping it pointed at the CAA there could be other problems crop up, not necessarily with PST migration? Should I not change the setting back when I'm done (so if the CAS I

Ah. Yeah, I posted all that excess just to say what we had, how it was configured, and so on. I understand the reasoning behind not using HT (and know I don't *have* 24 procs). Just lucky enough that we never ran into problems using it configured that way:) Cheers, Paul Blackberry From: Sean
