- TITLE :Replicator Service Monopolizes CPU
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:Buglist3.10
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- SYMPTOMS
- ========
-
- When file replication starts with a LAN Manager version 2.2 import server
- receiving files from a Windows NT Advanced Server export server,
- intermittent failures may occur. The chances for this become greater when
- you use multiple LAN Manager import replicator servers.
-
- Performance Monitor running on the Windows NT Advanced Server export
- replicator server shows the CPU utilization at or above 90 percent due to
- the replicator service. Under usual conditions, the high CPU utilization
- only lasts briefly. However, if the LAN Manager server fails, it is
- possible for the high CPU utilization to persist until the Directory
- Replicator service is shut down at the Windows NT Advanced Server export
- server. The replicator shows approximately 65 percent Privileged CPU use
- and approximately 15 percent User CPU use, according to Performance
- Monitor. The files fail to replicate to one or more import servers as
- indicated by the presence of the following file in the REPL\IMPORT
- directory LAN Manager import servers:
-
- NOSYNCH.RPL$
-
- CAUSE
- =====
-
- This problem occurs when the LAN Manager 2.2 ring 3 server fails due to a
- problem in NETAPI.DLL. Although the LAN Manager workstation services,
- HPFS386 services, and transport protocols keep a session active with the
- import server, the LAN Manager Server Message Block (SMB) services may fail
- due to the ring 3 server.
-
- RESOLUTION
- ==========
-
- To avoid this problem, upgrade the LAN Manager 2.2 servers to LAN Manager
- 2.2b, which includes the corrected OS/2 NETAPI.DLL file.
