Output drops off...?

[Highland3r]

Does anyone else have an issue with output dropping off 2-4 days after VM's are started? Notice that, the longer the machines are up, the less work they're kicking out...
A64 rig doesnt seem to suffer (only running 3 VM's) but the "dedicated" rig seems to suffer this quite a bit, with 5+ vm's atm, and ~ 10 with 1.5gb ram...

Cheers for any tips/advice

What flavor of VMs are you running? (What OS?)

[Highland3r]

All runnning windows XP SP2 (nlited install) with host OS of winXP too.
96mb ram per VM.

Shoot. I was hoping you were going to be running DSL/DIMES because I'm having a similar thing happen after 24-36hrs.

Thats weird. Check the log to see if there is a connection issue to the Dimes server. Its right there in the properties.. I had the 3 dimes rig running VMs for 20 days straight, no reboots and they were constantly kicking out 198,000 a day as i added more. The output didnt drop. I am however still having issues with my VMs as we speak. Ill know if its been resolved in a few days. Its getting frustrating again.

Just check the Netdimes stats page (took a not of output last night) and all the agents which should be producing seem to be...
Not a great deal of output from them though.... bah sucks, down ~ 7k per day from where it should be considering 512 ram is gone... but even then only managed 1 day of 55k production :S

In fact, might just have found the issue...
One of the VM's was loading the A64 rig 100% for some reason, killed the other VM's and local agent...
Fingers crossed this will help!
