Long term cache hits 2500%

[mark....@ifrsys.com]

We have had two netware 5.1 sp6 servers recently (& seperately) have the
long term cache hits go to around 2500% or above and then drop down to 12%
over three days.

The server access doesn't appear to be effected in any way.

I read an earlier message suggesting LRU time is a better indicator and we
are currently running at around 35mins which is normal for this server.

Does anyone have an explaination for this?

I have not found any TIDs on it.

Thanks in advance

there could be a bug in MONITOR with the stats. There have been a few
of them over the years. I don't even bother with looking at the cache
hits anymore.

How much RAM is in the server?

Backups can do that, or a massive file copy from one place to another -
nothing to worry about.

Thanks for your ideas guys,

The servers have 1.25 and 1.5Gb memory in each but I did some more
investigation on the time the cache hits went high and it coincides with
the start time of the full backup as suggested. Why it never did this
before who knows. I will cross it off my list of things to worry about.

Thanks again
