[Asterisk-Users] Experience with IBM X346 machines and Sangoma
Hi All, I have read many posts about problems with Asterisk on some systems. I also set up Asterisk on many different boxes. But I have never seen the following... There is an IBM X346 (3.4GHz Xeon) with one Sangoma A104. This system is currently idle, that means there is nothing running except Asterisk (1.2.7.1). We are handling no calls now, but if I do a vmstat, I get peaks in system load up to 40%! Here is an example: procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- --system-- ----cpu---- r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 0 0 0 375080 161660 142232 0 0 0 0 4160 187 0 4 96 0 0 0 0 375080 161660 142232 0 0 0 0 4251 207 0 1 98 0 0 0 0 375080 161660 142232 0 0 0 0 4205 179 0 9 92 0 0 0 0 375080 161660 142232 0 0 0 36 4151 217 0 3 97 0 0 0 0 375080 161660 142232 0 0 0 0 4026 187 0 0 100 0 0 0 0 375080 161660 142232 0 0 0 0 4042 205 0 14 86 0 0 0 0 375080 161660 142232 0 0 0 0 4019 184 0 38 63 0 0 0 0 375080 161660 142232 0 0 0 0 4062 208 0 0 100 0 0 0 0 375080 161660 142232 0 0 0 0 4028 196 0 2 99 0 0 0 0 375080 161660 142232 0 0 0 16 4075 223 0 19 81 0 1 0 0 375080 161660 142232 0 0 0 0 4029 197 0 0 100 0 0 0 0 375080 161660 142232 0 0 0 0 4043 199 0 1 99 0 0 0 0 375080 161660 142232 0 0 0 0 4045 194 0 6 94 0 0 0 0 375080 161660 142232 0 0 0 0 4032 196 0 24 77 0 0 0 0 375080 161660 142232 0 0 0 12 4045 212 0 0 100 0 0 0 0 375080 161660 142232 0 0 0 0 4028 188 0 0 100 0 In contrast to the above I have a Dell 2850 running Asterisk and a lot of other things (but no PRI card). This box is (according to vmstat) almost always 100% idle! Is anyone running a similar X346-system? What is the load and how does Asterisk behave on it? Can anyone explain what is happening here? Thx, Wolfgang

I get the same thing with a basic AAH (2.8 or whatever the latest is at the time of this writing). I consider the thing an pretty basic system running nothing but Asterisk yet I get the same kind of spikes once every 10 seconds (running vmstat 1 10000). My system is a cheap Sepron 2800+ on a ASUS MB with nVidia3 chipset. I'd love to know what's that all about... My sample below. As you can see I mostly have 100% idle and there are spikes :-) procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- --system-- ----cpu---- 0 0 160 60908 17888 369452 0 0 0 0 2110 199 1 0 99 0 0 0 160 60908 17888 369452 0 0 0 0 2110 206 0 0 100 0 0 0 160 60908 17896 369452 0 0 0 12 2112 206 0 0 100 0 0 0 160 60908 17896 369452 0 0 0 0 2112 205 0 21 79 0 0 0 160 60908 17896 369452 0 0 0 0 2111 209 0 0 100 0 0 0 160 60908 17896 369452 0 0 0 0 2109 197 0 0 100 0 0 0 160 62292 17916 369452 0 0 0 432 2134 324 0 1 99 0 0 0 160 62292 17916 369452 0 0 0 0 2107 190 0 0 100 0 0 0 160 62292 17916 369452 0 0 0 0 2111 200 0 0 100 0 0 0 160 62356 17916 369452 0 0 0 0 2106 195 0 0 100 0 0 0 160 62372 17916 369452 0 0 0 0 2107 190 0 0 100 0 Wolfgang Zweimueller wrote:> Hi All, > > I have read many posts about problems with Asterisk on some systems.
