Can someone tell me what "Current load average" is?

We have a 2 node HA cluster, each box is a dual hexa-core 8GB RAM system. Dashboard graphs show CPU at 17%, RAM at 27%, but in the HA live log I see these warnings:

2011:10:27-00:03:16 secgate-an-2 ha_daemon[6011]: id="38A1" severity="warn" sys="System" sub="ha" name="Current load average 12.58 is high!"

I had a look into the sizing guide. And for the ASG 625, which has less CPU power than your setup, they expect 850 MBit/s for HTTP Proxy in average. Could be lower if you also do intensive IPS for example.

Hard to say if your load is OK or to high. Sounds to high for me personally. Specially if you have an active/active cluster.

You may should ask your reseller or Astaro directly (if you have premium support) to have a closer look at it.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah we have "premium" and have been waiting for a response to our ticket. We also asked them if it was better to have hyper-threading turned on or off and they have not answered that either. We noticed a sharp drop in the quality of support after Sophos bought them. Anyway, I will update the thread if we get a definitive answer from Astaro.
