> 9 zones, currently 15 jvms. enough big number of jvms. Is your server based on 8 cores with 16 or 32GB ? I would say you should have a big enough swap as well for all these JVMs and the needed reservations.
We were in a T2000, 8 cores, 32GB RAM with 4 zones, 20-25 jvms. It is somehow difficult to know how to size properly a T2000 server and how many applications can you actually install. Zones as well demand a much delicate attention when you should think: do I need Resource Management or stay default. At least on my side it was clear that I needed to read more about: - how do you move workloads from other SMP type servers to T2000. How are my T2000 resources utilised ? CPU, most likely is the part which is more difficult since we need to count on core utilisation. - cputrack, trapstat are again good friends here, but not often used. You can measure the TLB misses - analyse and estimate somehow how many jvms you can have per T2000, a bit difficult question depending of your JVM options. - better analyse the applications, using Studio for instance. This is something Im studying at the moment. Rgds, stefan _______________________________________________ perf-discuss mailing list perf-discuss@opensolaris.org
