I sent this in yesterday, but I never saw it posted; nor did I receive any
responses.
As of this moment, one of the queries mentioned below has been running for
about 18 hours now and it is still processing.

Solaris 10
IDS 11.50.FC9 WorkGroup Edition
I have a new server that I am testing out. I copied all the configurations
from the previous server, and I loaded this server from an archive of the
previous server. I seems to be running slowly even though there is nothing
else running. Also, it has a lot more of all resources available than the
previous server (memory, cpu, disk space, etc.)
For example, I am doing the following on 2 large tables. The server is
99%-100% idle and the queries are taking hours. The tables are approximately
25-30 GB each.
UPDATE table_name SET column2 = column2 WHERE 1=1;
During some other testing, we have a program that usually processes 120
records per hour. On this server it processed about 30 records per hour when
tested.
What are some things that I can look at to speed this server up?
Both servers have the same configurations in the $ONCONFIG.
Both servers are running the same versions of Informix and Solaris.
The new, slower server, is beefier in every way; but it seems to process
slower.
Larry

For the first question:
32MB SHMADD looking a little small compared to 2GB SHMVIRTSIZE - you might =
want to increase SHMVIRTSIZE to e.g. 3GB up front (to avoid any dynamic=20
addition) plus increasing SHMADD to e.g. 0.5 or 1 GB. Depending on what=20
you can afford on your machine in terms of available memory.
The sample you gave happens to be a *message* segment - I'm guessing=20
what you referring to are a number of *virtual* segments?
As for the i4gl I'd not see why this needed to change, as long as the used =
functionality wouldn't change, but maybe someone has to add something=20
here.
Regards,
Andreas

Is the disk space on the new server set up optimally for databases? RAID 10,
not RAID 5, no journaling, etc.?

It is set up exactly the same as the server the data archive came from.
It is on RAID 5, only because the external disk array, array manager, had a
limited selection of possible RAID configurations. RAID 10 is not one of them.
I did choose the disk array. I just had to make things work within the
limitations.

If I were working this issue, I'd first find out which thread was doing the
update query. Then I would run "onstat -g stk <thread_id> on that thread
multiple times. If I saw a common pattern, then I would ask this forum if
there was any indication what might be going on based on the thread's stack.
