100% CPU Utilization

[dixson]

We just migrated all our users to the standby exchange 2003 server ( We use EMCs Replistor ) all the users moved smoothly. One of the database was corrupted which was repaired using eseutil /p . Now the server CPU runs at 100%. Disabled all antivirus software to no avail. Store.exe & Inetinfo seem to be taking all the CPU time. What could be the issue?

If you ran a /P you should also run ISINTEG on the store.

We repaired all the databases and now the CPU usage is down to 60-68%. We have noticed that the Routing ensine service is all that is taking up the CPU usage. If we stop the service, the CPU usage goes down to nelow 5%. What could be wrong?

Do you have more than one Exchange server?

Yes we have 3 exchange servers
1>Active Server on which all users mailboxes are present.
2>Standby server. All exchange related services on this server are stopped. Online replication is configuredfrom primary to standby with EMC Replistor(runs on both exchnage server)ver 6.1 sp2
3>Front End server

Then you've only got the one back end server so the routing engine shouldn't be doing anything much. Which server does the Internet traffic gatewaying?

 

[dixson]

Internet traffic is sent to smtp host on a ironport device

 

[Zelandakh]

Then I'd be inclined to stop the routing engine.

What does the routing engine do in my case? and dow the line if i were to have more exchange servers, how will this effect the whole system?
