EMC Slow Startup.

Ian_Broadway — Thu, 12 Sep 2019 14:22:46 GMT

Hi All,

Just curious if this is the same for all or just our environment.

Our EMC environment is very slow to startup.

We're running version 8.3.0.111 on a windows 2016 Standard server.

When we reboot the server for windows updates etc it can take a good half an hour for the Extreme server service to start and allow web connections for EMC.

the specs of the server are;

2016 Standard
Intel XEON X5660 2.80Ghz x 2 (6 core each, 12 total)
36GB RAM
200GB OS Drive (SAS Drives)
1TB Data Drive (SAS Drives)

any thoughts?

Kind regards
Ian

Check the /usr/local/Extreme_Networks/NetSight/services/nsserver.cfg file and make sure the memory settings are appropriate.

Does it throw any exceptions during startup?

Are you within the appropriate system specifications for your environment?

If you have a lot of switches managed by XMC it will take some time for XMC to scan those. I think at least NetSight (or was it RidgeLine/EPICenter???) had to go through all managed switches before presenting the web GUI and I think XMC behaves the same. There is/was a setting for starting the GUI before all the polling was done (presenting cached/old values from the database intially), but I have no idea if that setting is still there.
