Good day!

Sometimes ago we order new Dell (Dell PowerEdge T720 DX290) server, with this configuration:

1. 128 Gb DDR3 ECC RAM

2. Dual Intel Xeon E5-2620 Hexa Core incl. Hyper-Thrreading Tecknology

3. 2x 600Gb SSD With PERC H710 mini RAID 1

...

But we have a strange cpu usage by postgresql (LA about 4). But there is no a lot of requests or heavy requests. We use pgbouncer, so postgresql doesn’t accept connections from users, only from pgbouncer. And the number of active requests per second is about 5:

I think it is some misconfiguration issue, so can you help me with some config/sysctl options for such server?

Thank you!

Hi Vasiliy,

I think this may not be a PostgreSQL related problem, but a BIOS configuration

problem. Dell used to ship servers with the BIOS set for performance mode, i.e.

100% at all times, now they ship with more energy thrifty defaults. We had a

similar problem and by setting the BIOS to performance mode and rebooting, the

phantom load vanished.
