    I have an OpenDirectory replica server that has its server pegged at 100% CPU with slapd being the culprit. Any suggestions on why it’s doing that and what I can do return it to normal levels?

    First do you have the command line for killing and restarting slapd…I’m currently doing it through the application monitor.

    OK, I have three servers tied together. My Open Directory Master and two replica servers. My Open Directory Master’s only responsibilities are DNS, DHCP, and authentication. The two replicas are file servers only; one for teacher home directories, and the other for student home directories. The slapd sucking up the processor is on the teacher server. The teacher server also runs Mac Manager for all of the OS 9 computers.

    The OD Master is a G4 dual 1 Ghz with 1.5 MB of RAM
    The OD replicas are 933MHz G4s with 1.5 of RAM

    All three have mirrored drives.

    The only thing that’s changed in the last week or so was I installed Retrospect 6 client and it does a backup every night at 10:00 P.M.

    No, it’s pegged all of the time. Other notes of interest is that this server is also acting as a repica. And because I don’t have the time or the staff, I don’t want to mess with it and have it off line for any period of time. I think I have had 98% uptime this year. My OD Master crashed hard and I had to rebuild it from scratch which left it offline for a day and no one could get in to do anything! I can’t risk that again. Hopefully I will be replacing these G4 towers with 3 xServe G5s running Tiger this summer, so I’m going to try to ride it out until June 24th when school officially ends.
