We decided to give a chance to a new opteron "Magny Cours" processor and instantly faced a problem with slow system response on Windows 2008 R2. BIOS and BMC firmwares are latest found on HP, no chipset drivers installed/needed, Adaptec RAID is used.

Anyone successfully run these type of servers?

  • You're not giving us anything to work on, what are you trying to do here, how's the memory loaded out - more details please, much more. – Chopper3 Apr 16 '11 at 11:34
  • It's a fresh install, no applications are consuming CPU. – Alex Key Apr 16 '11 at 12:06
  • We're running the 12-core versions of these processors (in a BL465 G7) and haven't had any issues with them yet. Haven't done Server 2008r2 yet, but I HAVE done Windows 7 (there was a good reason) and ESX. – sysadmin1138 Apr 16 '11 at 12:23

    Have you setup the memory correctly? setting it up wrong can create just this kind of problem, also have you applied the latest Proliant Support Pack? – Chopper3 Apr 16 '11 at 12:34
  • There is no PSP for 100-series. Memory installed according to manual(otherwise server will not start). Thanks guys, I resolved it. It was a intel (HAHAHA) integrated NIC, after I installed updated driver for it, cpu saw disappeared. Old version did not liked SP1 for some reason. – Alex Key Apr 16 '11 at 13:08

Check the integrated NIC drivers, they can cause problems.
