Newbies Tversteeg Posted May 2, 2014 Newbies Share Posted May 2, 2014 Hello, We have some issues with high cpu usage to be specific 25% per user on the terminal server. Our situation. HP ProLiant G8 with 2X Intel Xeon E5-2620 @2.00GHz and 52GB RAM This machine hosts 2 Hyper-v servers 1. Windows 2003 R2 (32Bit) 2 virtual assigned processors and 4GB of RAM assigned. This machine hosts the Filemaker Server 9 with terminal server licenses. 2. Windows 2008 R2 (64Bit) 4 virtual assigned processors and 32GB of Ram assigned. This machine functions as a terminal server with Filemaker Pro 9 installed and other basic software like Outlook etc. We have 3 to 4 users on this terminal server and Filemaker pro is taking 25% cpu usage per user so in the worse case it is always running at 75-100% usage! Did some testing, 3 users are using Filemaker pro and they all use 25% cpu, when I open Filemaker without connecting to the filemaker database it stays at 0% for my session, however when I select the filemaker server and it show all the databases it directly goes straight to 25% cpu usage withoud opening one. It seems it directly locks itself to 25% cpu usage as soon as it tries to make a connection to the filemaker server. When I open a database it still use 25% and when I close the database it also stays at 25%. Versions: Filemaker Server 9 Filemaker Pro 9 : 9.0v3 with latest patches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wim Decorte Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Unless it is slowing down the underlying machine (and by extension, FMS) it should not be a problem. What does the host report for CPU usage when this happens? How many cores per processor? As a general note, I would assign more virtual processors to FMS and probably a few more to the TS instance too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies Tversteeg Posted May 5, 2014 Author Newbies Share Posted May 5, 2014 Hi Wim, Thanks for your response, there are indeed some performance issues. Will change the Windows server 2003 to 1 processor and give the TS 2 or 4 more. There are 6 cores per processor so 12 in total. Will check what the cpu does on the host.

Wim Decorte Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Will change the Windows server 2003 to 1 processor I think you misunderstood more. Since you have 12 actual cores to work with, I would *increase* the number of virtual processors on both the FMS and the TS instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies Tversteeg Posted May 9, 2014 Author Newbies Share Posted May 9, 2014 Ooh sorry, changed the FMS to 4 and TS to 6 will report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
