Ok, here is the backstory...
We are upgrading domain and moving data from legacy server to new high end Dell server with SSDs. All servers are in same environment, switches and location.
Old server is fine for opening and working on any Revit file.
Data was moved to new server to test. Now Revit files can take up to 2+ hours to open. Other files, AutoCAD, Rhino, Sketchup and others open completely fine on the new server.
The scenerio we are seeing is this.
The Revit test performed on the new server had the following results:
- Opening Revit files normally causes Revit to hang. After 2+ hours, the progress bar never moved beyond approximately 50%. Several models were tested, all more than once, with the same result.
Two workarounds were tested:
- Copying files to desktop, select ‘detach from central’ while opening local file, save detached model to server (reliably successful)
- Select ‘detach from central’ while opening file on server, save detached model back to server (50-50 success rate)
These workarounds would have to be performed on every Revit model.
Any help on getting this resolved would be great.
Thanks
