I’ve been challenged with reducing the amount of time for our Full Crawls. We are crawling currently about 1.6 million docs. Our crawl rate is terrible. It’s anywhere from 18 to 21 hours. The incremental crawls however are MUCH faster.
I have a dedicated crawl server setup – 6 Procs – 16 GB of ram. Plus I am using the Application server (same specs) as a secondary crawl server.
It’s my understanding we should be hitting a crawl rate of around 45 docs per second. We are not even close to that.
What I’ve tried so far.. creating a new content source – Index Reset – Full Crawl.
Turning off – Offload Task and Chimney on SQL and Crawl servers. Disabled A\V checks during that time.
Looking for suggestions….
Thanks SP-C
SQL could be the problem. *Note I was given this baby* The Data and Logs are on the same disk (I know I know) I have moved all other applications to different disk on our SQL Cluster.
We currently have 48GB of memory (soon to be more) and Max memory is set to 38GB
Have to admit I’ve never heard of Max Degree of Parallelism. Ours was set to 0 (default) Did a little research and will be changing it to 1. I will also try to get the Logs moved to a different disk. I will monitor for spikes when the Full crawl runs this weekend.
