Hi, I have a trivial setup on a 2.4GHz Xeon Dell PE 1750 SCSI machine
dealing with 4 ports of E1 in an 'inline PBX' arrangement.
My extensions.conf is simply:
[general]
static=yes
writeprotect=yes
[frompstn]
exten => _31.,1,Dial(Zap/g2/${EXTEN})
exten => _31.,2,Congestion
[fromaxxess]
exten => _13.,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN},,h)
exten => _13.,2,Congestion
exten => _31.,1,Dial(Zap/g2/${EXTEN})
exten => _31.,2,Congestion
include => outbound
[outbound]
exten => _X.,1,Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN})
exten => _X.,2,Congestion
We have a full 30-channel PRI and a 4-channel partial PRI and are
experiencing load spikes that I can't find the source of.
The machine Debian sarge on the default 2.6.8-2-686 kernel, and no other
daemons are running than sshd.
The machine is doing no IP work - purely TDM, yet on a Xeon 2.4GHz
machine, the load average is sitting at 0.6 with 40 active Zap channels
(i.e. 20 live calls) and will randomly jump to 2 (with call quality
starting to stutter)
A few seconds of vmstat:

Does this sound about normal for what is just shuffling data between
ports of the Sangoma A104? I want to record the call data with the
'Monitor' application but this just causes the load to increase even
more (even though 'hdparm' shows 70MB/sec disk transfer with low
user+system CPU usage)
/proc/interrupts is
CPU0

Help! :)

[Asterisk-Users] Load spikes with 1.0.10
Are your interrupts getting hogged by anything else? I'd recommend http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+PCI+bus+Troubleshooting if you haven't already read it. Have you tried booting with noapic kernel option? You may then have to shuffle cards around to make your sangoma not share any interrupts <shrug> hth :) moj Gavin Hamill wrote:> Hi, I have a trivial setup on a 2.4GHz Xeon Dell PE 1750 SCSI machine > dealing with 4 ports of E1 in an 'inline PBX' arrangement. > > My extensions.conf is simply: > > [general] > static=yes > writeprotect=yes > > [frompstn] > exten => _31.,1,Dial(Zap/g2/${EXTEN}) > exten => _31.,2,Congestion > > [fromaxxess] > exten => _13.,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN},,h) > exten => _13.,2,Congestion > exten => _31.,1,Dial(Zap/g2/${EXTEN}) > exten => _31.,2,Congestion > include => outbound > > [outbound] > exten => _X.,1,Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN}) > exten => _X.,2,Congestion > > We have a full 30-channel PRI and a 4-channel partial PRI and are > experiencing load spikes that I can't find the source of. > > The machine Debian sarge on the default 2.6.8-2-686 kernel, and no other > daemons are running than sshd. > > The machine is doing no IP work - purely TDM, yet on a Xeon 2.4GHz > machine, the load average is sitting at 0.6 with 40 active Zap channels > (i.e. 20 live calls) and will randomly jump to 2 (with call quality > starting to stutter) > > A few seconds of vmstat: > > > procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- --system-- > ----cpu---- > r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy > id wa > 7 0 0 223560 1276 223040 0 0 3 10 83 94 1 2 > 97 0 > 0 0 0 223552 1284 223040 0 0 0 16 5128 3461 1 0 > 98 1 > 0 0 0 223552 1284 223040 0 0 0 0 5094 3319 10 9 > 81 0 > 0 0 0 223552 1284 223040 0 0 0 16 5130 2955 1 10 > 89 0 > 0 0 0 223552 1292 223040 0 0 0 60 5121 2918 0 1 > 97 2 > 0 0 0 223552 1292 223040 0 0 0 0 5031 2936 1 0 > 99 0 > > Does this sound about normal for what is just shuffling data between > ports of the Sangoma A104?
