Sun T5440: Weblogic start take too long - weblogic

We are using weblogic 10.1 on T5440 servers but the start time takes too long as compared with V890 servers.
But after start the cpu performance is excellent.
For example weblogic server start takes 15-20 min. on a v890 server bu the same weblogic server starts in ~50 min on T5440.
Did you face the same problem? Or do you have any idea to shorten the time of start.

Kadir,
According to the Sun guys this is somewhat expected. T series multi thread architecture is designed to perform better for throughput. But at the initialization phase single thread code takes place.
I think you have tried this but please try the other options as a last shot:

SQL Server response time increasing

I'm currently working on updating an ERP called Sage 1000 to a newer version. The main change occurred along the upgrade is that the ERP solution and its database became on two different server. Ever since, The response time has significantly increased.
The part related to SQL Server is the following: whenever the time response problem happens, I restart the SQL Server service and it starts working just fine, at least for a couple of days until I have to restart it again.
Within the task manager before restarting the service I can see that it consumes nearly 17 to 20 gigabytes of memory witch is an insane amount even for a server run service, after restart, the amount of memory drops to a normal 2 to 3 gigabytes.
So my question is the following: in your experience what could be the cause of such abnormal behavior? Right now I created a planned task to restart the service everyday at 3:00 am, but it's not a radical solution.
Thanks in advance for your help,

Why is first call to Analysis Services slow

My application contains a pivot grid that is connected to several cubes in Analysis Services (SQL Server 2014). When enough time has passed (maybe a couple of hours, I haven't timed it), the next time I use the pivot grid, I experience an increased lag time of 5 - 10 seconds compared to subsequent uses. Basically, my first call to SSAS is always slow, all the next ones are fast.
I'm unable to find any documentation or article about why I'm experiencing a slow response time for my application's first call to Analysis Services. Can anyone shed some light on this issue?
Edit:
I should mention that this is for a web application, so long load times are no good. It seems like SSAS goes to sleep after awhile and I'd like to keep it "awake" if it's possible.
At our shop, in the job that processes the SSAS database, we follow that step with some steps that run typical queries against SSAS to "warm the cache".
Seems to work for us.

SqlDataAdapter.Fill suddenly taking a long time

I have an application with a central DataTier that can execute a query to a data table using an SQLDataAdapter. None of this code has changed but now all queries are taking at least 10x as long to execute a query returning even one record.
The only difference is that I have been using the app in a VM but the issue has started mid way through using the application. eg, the speed issue has not manifested itself from the start of using the VM, rather half way through.
Has anyone else had an issue with the SQL Data Adapter taking a long time to fill for no reason? executing the query in Management studio it runs in less than a second.
Firewalls are disabled
ok, after another half day wasted on this it seems to be an issue relating to networking on the Virtual PC.
I have seen a massive improvement by changing the network adapter in the VM to Shared NAT and no longer experience the long delay when populating data tables.
Its obviously having an issue resolving the SQL server.
For anyone else that stumbles across this post here are the settings

SQL Server running slow due to thread count increase

On our production server, for some reason at specific amount of time, thread count goes over and over to the certain point that though CPU Utilization is normal(30-50%), but the query starting to run slow we so lot more blocking statements.
I am not sure where to look at it, basically when our site runs normally, the thread count is around 150 threads, but during the specific time in a day(during 1:30 to 2:30) it come up to 270 threads.there are no extra sql transaction goes on, everything as normal as it was before but thread count grows and sql start behaving very very slow.
After restarting the SQL service immediately thread count comes to normal, and our site function fine for another 24 hours.
We are using SQL Server 2005, it is 24 core machine.
any idea?
Blocking statements steal workers (sys.dm_os_workers) so the server will spawn more workers to handle the incoming tasks. At 24 cores you'll have some 700 max worker threads out-of-the-box by default. So seeing 270 'threads' is not an issue, is well within the normal functioning parameters. You real problem must be the blocking, and you have to investigate it accordingly: who is blocking who and why. My bet is that you have a job running between 1:30 and 2:30 that is locking large portions of the database (a delete job perhaps?) and your queries block on locked rows. You'll have to investigate, find the root cause, and act accordingly. Reboot is not a solution, nor is blaming unrelated components (thread count). Use Activity Monitor, use Who Is Active, follow the methodical approach of Waits and Queues methodology. There are plenty of ways to identify the real problem. SQL Server will never appear slow due to thread count. It simply doesn't work like that.
You can control the degree of parallalism using the MAXDOP query hint. For more details please check this article:

Thanks for your valuable feedback, yes it is true it is nothing which sql is behaving weiredly, it is something our Site which is based on Ektron CMS is responsible for, one of the Functionality of Ektron CMS (which is PageBuilder), while doing operation on this piece of Content was holding of the table badly, we have around 10 million users to our site, and probably since this was blocking the tables SQL Server goes nuts and does not respond very well.
We have finally eliminated the issue.

Intermittent SQL timeouts

Since a few days ago, the SQL server (Microsoft SQL Server 2005) backing our site has started occasionally timeouting. It is happening at seemingly random times approximately every hour or two. It usually takes about 10 minutes during which we see hundreds of timeouted requests. Under normal circumstances, most of our queries take less than 50ms. A query which takes a significant fraction of a second is an exception.
I have effectively killed a day trying to figure out at least something without any real progress. Normally, the server load is about 10-20%, and when the timeouts happen, we don’t see any increased CPU load. Also, there is nothing special happening during the timeouts; no overzealous web crawler, no heavy background tasks, no increased network traffic, no increased number of connections etc. Simply, everything looks as usual.
Not making any progress, we decided to restart it (and install the latest SP since we were in it) which seems to have fixed the problem. It has been already over six hours without any incident. Also, the CPU load has gone down under 10%.
It almost seems like if the SQL server "deteriorated" overtime. Perhaps, some internal structure (some cache or statistic) got out shape and caused the occasional problems. I don’t have any other explanation.
The only thing I noticed when I was monitoring the server (and got lucky once to be present when the timeouts were happening), I saw several long running queries waiting on CXPACKET. But I learned that this is most likely just a consequence of some other problem. I wrote a script monitoring SQL requests, and so hopefully, next time it happens, I will have more information.
Has anybody had similar experience? I’m not an SQL Server guru. Any suggestions are welcome.
since everything looked normal: CPU, nothing special happening, no overzealous web crawler, no heavy background tasks, no increased network traffic, no increased number of connections etc. I'd look into locking\blocking\race condition. Use this to see what (if anything) is locking when the time-out are happening:
