We're seeing a similar problem with our Koha install; we're blaming the 32-bit OS. I'd recommend upgrading VMWare and (re)installing Deb 64bit on your system, and also possibly moving up to Koha 3.16, if you have to option to do those things. Would the vSphere Hypervisor work for you? We've been playing with it here, and will probably use it for our next virtual machine server. http://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere-hypervisor/ Greg -- Greg Lawson Network Administrator Rolling Hills Consolidated Library 1912 N.

Hello everyone,
I'm looking for some thoughts/opinions. I have a working 3.14.04 "package install" environment running on a 4-core 3.6GHz system with 8GB RAM. The OS is Debian 32-bit running as a VM on top of VMware ESXi. This single VM is allocated pretty much all of the physical hardware resources in the system...just wanted the flexibility of adding a "test" VM environment later perhaps. We are noticing that most functions are quite slow, including check-ins, check-outs, and patron lookups. I've monitored the system for a bit and am seeing that mysqld is consuming 100% of all 4 CPUs consistently during the slowness. What I'm wondering is:
- Does this seem normal to folks? Should a relatively small environment (less than 2000 patrons and just over 11,000 items) be consuming that much CPU?
- Could it be VMware?
- Could it be the 32-bit OS? The version of VMware I installed wouldn't allow me to create a 64-bit Debian VM.
- Are there any MySQL tuning parameters I should consider?
- Any other thoughts/ideas on what I should look at?
Thanks all!
Steve
