The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

PowerEdge 2900 Delay Write fail when copying to it.

Asked by jennynover in Microsoft Server, SBS Small Business Server, Computer Servers

Tags: , , ,

Just installed new Poweredge 2900.  RAID1 HW mirror.  Now running SBS 2k3 R2.

Everything appeard fine until I tried to copy over the data from the legacy Red Hat Server.  Copying from Old to New server VERY slow and would fail intermittantly - like it was timing out on the connection.

 Tested copy from Old Server to XP PC on network, that was fine, PC to New - SLOW.  I'm not in front of it right now, so no exact errors for you, but got some strange errors like "can't copy file xxx path too deep" - then it would copy that file next try, but not another one.  Or it would copy some and then say the network drive was unavailable.

Finally I set up some mirroring SW on the XP PC to run mirror/copy from Old Server to New... that way it could keep copying and retrying all night... so that's what its doing now.  Before I left - it was doing pretty well, but occassionally the PC would popup a "delay write error" message for files that timed out during the copy.  The mirror will retry them later tonight... but that doesn't reslove the HW performance issue

For a while I focussed on the NIC - but just can't see anything wrong there.   Is it more likely to be the Array?  Any ideas of what I should look at tomorrow (software is SBS 2k3 R2 by the way)

NW hardware is flaky there - Zoom modem router on DSL, 24port switched hub.  Thats it for NW HW.
Thanks
