Got a Windows server here that falls apart after several hours of use. Gets really slow, then speeds up for a few seconds, then gets really slow again and repeats until reboot. Can’t seem to pinpoint what is failing. Can’t reproduce the problem at will either. No obvious errors in Event Logs. Ran Windows Memory Diagnostic for several hours with no errors. Here’s the layout:
Xenapp x64, v4.5 Rollup6
Windows 2003-R2 Ent. Ed. (disc 2 not installed)
48 GB of Registered ECC PC10600 RAM
Dual L5640 XEONs
X8DTU-F mainboard, BIOS current from mfg website
Areca ARC-1880IX-24(1GB), BIOS v1.49
RAIDset0 (RAID6): vol000: 12 disks: C: OS/Pagefile
RAIDSet1 (RAID6): vol001: 12 disks: D: Applications
(24) disks are 146GB Seagate ST9146852SS all but 1 at firmware 0005. One is at firmware 0002.
Any ideas?
