We installed 6 about a year ago on three servers. One server (W2K AD+File services) has always had issues with LSR. The console would hang, the imaging would cause clients that connect to the remote server to have performance complaints. We went to 6.0.2 and 6.0.3. .3 seemed to be the best/most reliable. Then we decided to try 6.5, and the sh*t hit the fan. Worst of all. The server will show strange behavior if the BESR server is reboot (windows patches and the like) The console screen will be completely white and I will need to modify the preferences.xml file to get back in again. Agent communication is lost. I can't use the product until the remote server is rebooted, hardly ideal. Another server, quite new, is now losing communication to the BESR console/delayed write failed error messages.
Any ideas? It seems like this product really tanks on some types of hardware. But the server it's loaded on is years proven, multiprocessor, low memory use, and a workhorse... it should work great...
We just loaded BESR on a 4th server, very very powerful, SQL 2005, 4 gigs ram, and in our testing BESR interfered with SQL to the point of crashing it. We *had* to take BESR off the vendor wouldn't certify the server for use.
I really like the idea of this product, but it's not working for some reason...
