High CPU Utilization for Portal Server Instance

When using the Cisco Content Services Switch, you might see a very high CPU utilization on the Portal Server instance with Web Server error file showing the following message every five seconds.

[20/Jan/2003:16:53:36] failure ( 5926): Error accepting connection
 -5928, oserr=130 (Connect aborted)

         

The cause of this error is a “sticky bit” setting within the Cisco Content Services Switch that is causing these errors. These load balancers periodically ping the servers (every five seconds) to verify that the servers are alive. After turning off the “sticky bit” setting, which disables the ping to the server every 5 seconds, the errors will no longer show up in the Web Server product.
