General Tuning

NFS vmware netapp

• NFS Vmware Netapp: turn off flow control, let high stacks take care of this esp WRT 10GE
• Enable Jumbo Frames - the default standard MTU is 1500 bytes which can result in increased processing. You can increase to 9216 bytes (Jumbo Frame) but this needs to be done on all network devices between the hosts and the storage. You need to read the document on this because failing to set this up properly will result in severe performance penalties. See the attached doc.
• nfsd server thread tune, up, from 8 default to ...

Graphing and performance

We should be able to see the status of the mail queues via the amdin interface but it looks like it's broke at ths itme

zmlogs is the name of the service that handles that. FIXME LEARN MORE

Amavis Tuning

how do we monitor amavis proceses?

make amavis go faster: but amavis on a ram disk http://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Performance_Tuning_Guidelines_for_Single-Server_100-500_User_Systems

also see Setting Up "Available Scanner" Checks

changing the number of amavis processes:

as the zimbra user in file ~/conf/ amavisd.conf.in change:

$max_servers = 10; # number of pre-forked children (2..15 is common) 

then

zmamavisdctl restart

Innodb cache hit rates and JVM GC rates

Mysql

Tuning

the big one is adjusting max_connections.

Duplicate Mailbox Ids

First find out the id of the galsync account. example

zmprov gmi galsync@domain.com 
mailboxId: 210 

Then use mysql to remove the extra ID's (not the current ID). example:

su - zimbra 
mysql -e "delete from zimbra.mailbox where id='211';" 
mysql -e "delete from zimbra.mailbox where id='4');" 

mysql -e "delete from zimbra.mailbox where id in (211, 4);" 
mysql -e "delete from zimbra.mailbox where id !='210';" 

You will need to restart mailboxd service to pick up the changes.

% zmmailboxdctl restart

Scripts

• /Domainreport

device list

grep -i device /opt/zimbra/log/mailbox.log | perl -ane 'if ( /User=(.*?)\&DeviceId=(.*?)\&DeviceType=(.*?)\&/ ) { print $1." ".$2." ".$3."\n"; } '  | sort | uniq -c |
