1012.0. "Perf.Mon and IP problems on AS2000 with NT3.51" by OSL09::TERJEHO () Thu Feb 27 1997 04:11

Hi,

I have a customer with the following 3 problems:

Systems: AS2000 4/275 with NT3.51 and SP4 (SERVER1)
        256 Mb memory
        Oracle v.7.2 (approx. 90 DB users, DB installed on Raid 5 set(5*2.1Gb)) 
        
        AS1000 with NT3.51 and SP4 (SERVER2)
        128 Mb memory
	Exchange, SMS,DHCP,WINS and File shares
       
Problem 1 - IP on SERVER1. 

The servers IP-address is manually configured.
The server reports (Event Viewer) an IP address conflict after boot.
But as far as we can see there is no other node using this address 
(we tried to ping the address with the server off line). 

I tried to use >nbtstat -n , the result was:

   ADMINISTRATOR conflict
   REPLICATE     conflict   (replicate is the account for the directory
                             replicator service)
   
The other server (SERVER2) is DHCP server, but the scope does not include 
SERVER1s IP-address  

Problem 2 - Perf.Mon. on SERVER1

Running Performance Monitor on the server is SLOW (very slow). 
The chart graphs is moving very slowly. Editing a chart takes a lot of time 
just to see/refresh the windows.

I tried to monitor the system (with a lot of patience). Average
Processor-%Processor Time was 25-30 %. Average Memory-Available bytes was 
30-40 Mb.

(Monitoring SERVER1 from another node (SERVER2) works just as bad,
but monitoring SERVER2 from SERVER1 works well)


Problem 3 - Perf.Mon and SMS on SERVER2

Starting Perf.Mon. or SMS Manager gives the following error window:

STOP - there is no disk in the drive. please insert a disk into drive A:

(other utilities does not give this error message)

I tried to logg on as another user to see if this was a profile problem,
it was not.

Has anyone experienced the same problems ?
