Hi,
We have had at least two different customers call in with a
similar problem dealing with performance in a LAVc environment.
Here are the symptoms. Any hints as where to look would be much
appreciated.
Running in a LAVc environment on a WS2000 with 16 MB, over half
free, on both the boot and local node. Using local page and swap
files. When starting up a file view, decterm, or other OTB app,
it takes between 1 and 2 MINUTES for the window to appear. When
brining up a dialog box or a DCL command box, etc, it takes 30-40
seconds.
WS quotas on both systems are high as are the PQL's on both
systems.
On the boot node, they are running VWS, but when they boot the
local node, they are using a different .PAR file with the DECwindows
sysgen params in them.
I have run out of ideas on things to look for. Any one seen
this happen before, or have any ideas what else to look at? Thanks
for any and all hints!

A couple of addendums. First of all, the apps are being run on
the boot node, not locally. Secondly, this is not, I belive, the
pipe line problem discussed in 428, as their pipeline quota is only
at 15,000 on both nodes.

I may be showing my lack of knowlege regarding workstation platforms,
but here goes: what's a "WS2000"??? If you meant "V" instead of "W"
(as in a VaxStation 2000) then did you mean 14 MB instead of 16?
Try this as a first step, use MONITOR or SPM on both nodes. The
boot node will probably be more interesting since that is where the
application is accessing the disk(s). From your note, you don't think
it is a memory saturation problem. That leaves disk I/O, CPU, and
network I/O...

Slight digression: 16MB memory boards for VS2000s have been available
from Clearpoint for years. We tend to forget that customers can
buy equipment from anyone ...

A few more questions:
What does your LAVc Configuraton look like? (ie how many satellites?, what
does network path look like?)
Have you looked at any of the NCP error counters?

Did this problem ever get resolved? Is it something the rest of us
should know about?
Thanks.
