Splitter L2O

[Shawnmb]

Ok, so here's the deal. Right now we're running all our server apps on one comp, and Im guessing we're way over our limit (250+ users), common crashes and insane pending write etc. So Im thinking of purchasing another comp in the same building.

After our second comp purchase we would have two comps on a gigabit network connection to eachother (100 mbit internet connection to the world per comp) and the specs would look like this:

Comp 1:

Dual Xeon 2.8 Ghz
2 GB RAM
2x 120 GB 7200 RPM drives
Currently has 5x 4GB pagefile partitions
Windows 2003 Standard

Comp 2 (What we're thinking of getting):

Intel Celeron 2.4 Ghz
1 GB RAM
80 GB drive space
Windows 2003 Standard


What will this do to our max user count? How many do you think we could handle after we purchase the second comp ? How would we split the apps? (What programs would be running on which computer?)

Thanks for your help >< Please respond

I've heard that from you for weeks as well as I've heard your offers to help, in the end you were just in my channel to leech users. Can I have a valid opinion from someone please?

CacheD and LogD on that celeron would free up additional memory from PC1. If you also run Petition server, you can put that in PC2, too. It'll free up roughtly 500-750mb of memory. You don't necessarily need such a large harddrive, just a REALLY fast one for running L2servers. 2x 10k rpm Scsi 18GB raid setup is better than a 7.2k RPM ide raid setup.

Your setup would look like this:

PC1: L2Server.exe, L2NPC.exe, L2AuthD.exe
PC2: CacheD.exe, L2LogD.exe, Petition.exe

As for it increasing max user count, that depends on what your connection can support. For each user you need 8kb bandwidth per player connection. That's what the 8kb next to pend writing means and that you need a fast hard drive to keep up with the send/recieve data.

PC1(Intel 2.4g-192.168.0.1-):SQL DB, L2Log, L2Auth, L2Cache, L2Petition, Website, L2Admin
PC2(Dual Xeon-192.168.0.2-):L2NPC, L2Server, and NOTHING ELSE

Put them all on a router/Hub, Configure each ini file, only need to foward port 7777/2106 from internet. 2106 foward to ->192.168.0.1 7777 foward to -> 192.168.0.2

also in SQL lin2db DB change table server 'innerip=192.168.0.2" and outerip=your.ip.here

If your running windows 2003 on the Dual Xeon machine, then set IOBUFFERPOOL to 15,000.

PC1:IP - 192.168.0.1

[Logd]

That's a better setup, but I can never get players to log into the gameworld if L2Auth isn't on the same machine as L2Server and L2NPC. What else did you configure differently? Because my configuration as you posted is exactly the same.

 

[BoTGoD]

Uh, My server is setup that way and people can login just fine, Only I cant login locally

Did you foward the ports correctly?

 

[Raniia]

Yup, even if I didn't. I've also tried disabling firewall completely. Still won't let anybody pass server selection screen to char selection screen. So I'm just stumped on this problem.

Damien please dont claim you built the server from as you didnt create the sql scripts nor none of the data files, and you did come here a HELL OF A LOT asking for help, so in reality, you didnt build any servers from scratch. Now whether or not he was in the right accusing you of trying to leech users remains to be seen. Just please dont claim you created anything from scratch.

Would you like me to post the logs where you were claiming to have stolen them from Capn? Lets not mention the fact that you came and offered them in the first place. Leech users? Yes. The second I went to do maintenance you'd boast about your server then go and tell people to PM you for site link etc. I have logs of that as well.

well i told people in your channel while you were there to pm me if they want to play on my server while yours was down. Dont complain to me that your server was down so long.
I didnt steal them from Capn. He willingly sent them to me.

Took me a sec to find it:

Jan 01 22:13:52 <Shawnmb> Hmm
Jan 01 22:13:57 <Shawnmb> Well Id offer something in exchange
Jan 01 22:14:05 <DStone> lol like what
Jan 01 22:14:06 <Shawnmb> But I dont think theres anything I have ><
Jan 01 22:14:12 <Shawnmb> That you need
Jan 01 22:14:24 <DStone> lol maybe if you had 200 accounts to spare id take ur accounts
Jan 01 22:14:24 <DStone> LMAO
Jan 01 22:14:34 <DStone> took weeks of lying, cheating capn to get these files lmao

EDIT: And another goody from the library of logs:

Jan 02 09:41:15 <DStone> ok im uploading my server files to a fast ftp
Jan 02 09:41:20 <DStone> ill just give u the whole damn thing
Jan 02 09:41:20 <Shawnmb>
Jan 02 09:41:25 <Shawnmb> Thanks omg ><
Jan 02 09:41:30 <DStone> theyll be done by monday
Jan 02 09:41:37 <DStone> lol my upload speed sucks

Lets not forget to add that come monday, there was an excuse that shoved it back more. Repeat this until you realize he's full of ****.

Either way, this is not the place to do this. Im here to get a question answered not to waste my time on you.

 

[dbobo]

based on my past experience with mssql server on 2.4 celerons, sql tends to timeout too much. if possible, get a P4 box.

 

[theRAGE]

Pfft... just keep the entire L2 server on the dual Xeon box and make the website on the 2nd box. There is no reason why a dual Xeon machine can handle the entire L2 server with 250+ users. It should be able to handle 1000 without a sweat. If possible, put the MSSQL server on the 2nd box too.

 

[Shawnmb]

Hmmm thats what Im being told as well, but it really doesnt seem to be able to handle all those users with a decent uptime...What kind of uptimes -should- I be looking at on one box with ~300 users?

 

[DamienStone]

days.


i have around 300 users online at once and uptime so far my uptime since last reboot is 3 days 45 minutes 8 seconds in //serverstat

 

[Shawnmb]

It doesnt make sense how Im pressing my luck keeping it up for 9 hours then....

 

[DamienStone]

theres a few things you dont have configured right.
