Server/Database Issues: An Apology, the Challenges and How to Fix It.

[Casey]

Scott/Michael/Jon Paul - IS the backend a SQL database?

MySQL.

[Archery1st]

Run a R1 for the OS/Application, R1 for the Transaction Logs and a R5,R6 or R10 for the data.

At the very least create a seperate volume on the OS/Appllication drives to keep the transaction logs seperated from the OS/Application and Data.

As for the Data...It all depends on the drives sizes, recovery point objective and budget as to R5/R6 or R10.

For a Mission Critical Application - such as TBH. I would go with R1/R1/R10....I realize this may not be feasible based upon budget.

Bare minimum I would do R1 (2 x 300GB 10K SAS HDD's) and create two 150GB Volumes...One for the OS/Application and the other for the transaction logs...then create a R5 (min 3 hdd's - one drive is for parity)

I don't really care for R6 as you loose two drives for parity but gain very little additional fault tolerance.

R10 (minimum 4 HDD's) a mirror stipe so you get great read and write speeds with great fault tolerance.

Good luck fellas. I am been really busy lately so the database errors have benefitted me.

Thanks for all of the hard work ladies and gentlemen.

Thanks for a great site that has given me HOURS of fun and entertainment. The best $11.50 I ever spent on entertainment. TBH the best bowhunting forum on the web and I am proud to flaunt my badge!

Can someone translate this to English for me? Shoot, nevermind, I wouldn't understand anyway

Do what ya gotta do Bossman. We'll be here when you're done but please, please, please keep her running for the next two days. Two days in a hotel sucks but two days in a hotel without TBH would REALLY suck

Good things take time and I think most of us understand the situation. Nothing is perfect and computers are a pain at times. It will all work out in the end and be better than ever!!!! This is the best group of people on the net not to mention the best site!!!!

i always end up blaming my computer. I yell at it for about 20 minutes, then get tired of that and take an old man nap.

Thanks for all yall do to improve the site. you guys always work really hard to keep things clicking!

Thank you to ALL of the mods for everything y'all do...

The site does just fine with you ladies and gentlemen buying an occasional cap, shirt or koozie. There is no need to solicit donations. Thanks for all the support.

Supporting the sponors that support this site also goes a long way toward ensuring that they renew their sponsorships. We've attempted to expand our number of sponsors recently, while preserving the relatively subtle appearance of banner ads on each page.

I'm sure your team is 100% capable and if not the green screen has enough folks that would rally to fix this.

I'd also offer if you run into any problems my company has a number of sql, database and network guys that I'd be happy to loan.

I also own a multimillion dollar data center with multiple redundancies and have plenty of system resources if you needed something in a pinch for short term.

Is this going to delay the shipment of my Bownanza shirts?

You're like the little kid at camp who's always poking a stick in the fire and stirring up ashes...

Micheal, thanks for everyting that you and the team do for the site. I just about had the wife convinced that it was a problem with my laptop and I needed a new one. She did not buy that story. Oh well, back to normal.
