Very slow SIM

Florian Penger — Thu, 03 Feb 2005 09:58:05 GMT

Hi I already worte in german... my fault so I try to do my best in englisch.
I installed the SIM 4.2 and it seemed to be working fine. The only thing I´m wondering that this application is really slow. I would say it takes about 3-5 minutes to show me the results I want to see. For example if I would like to see "All Systems" I can go away and have a coffee. There only comes up this grey Java box with the loading symbol. Does it always take so long to load the pages??
Could it be that I have to restrict the size of RAM which the SQL Server wants to take?
Does anyone know how to fix this.

Thank

Well... it could be the Server/Database hostime SIM, but I have seen from my experience that the version of Java you are running can make a big difference. I am running SIM 4.2 with Java 1.5 Update 1 and it is very fast. It could be alot of things, including the "size" of server, network connection, IE, Java. It would helpt if you let us know what everything is running on.

Hi,

itÂ´s a Compaq Pro Lian ML370 with 2x800 Mhz and 1,5 GB RAM where the SIM 4.2 is running on.
ItÂ´s a normal Win2K System. I did the typical installation of the SIM so everthing should be fine. The only thing I changed is the directora of the repository. I changed it to an other partition. The JAVA Version which is running is 1.4.1_04 and the SNMP traps are set up as default.
There are only 5 Servers which IÂ´m currently monitoring in my testinvironment. Later if to check more than 40.
Do you think it could be the Jave version??

Thanks for you

Your memory size should be fine, but your processors are a little under-powered. Recommended is 1.5GHz -- 2 x 800MHz does not = 1.6 GHz unfortunately.

Do you have a proxy configured in your browser? I have seen that be an issue, especially when the exclusion list does not specifically exclude the HP SIM server.

Also, make sure that forward and reverse DNS are both working for the HP SIM server and the station you are browsing from.

Hi
I have seen this problem before. You should try to reconfigure SIM Agents on the servers. SNMP secutity, Trap Configuration ...
