Is this a hard limit ? So if there are 4 cores there can only be 800 concurrent clients. None of our banks is calculating this like this and some have Apache and JBoss on the same machine which further limits the threads.
Appreciate any help. Thanks, Mohan From: mohan.radhakrish...@polarisft.com To: users@tomcat.apache.org Date: 09/19/2013 05:56 PM Subject: MaxClients and maxThreads Hi, I am following the instructions in https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/15786 to tune MaxClients in httpd.conf and maxThreads in JBoss Tomcat. " The recommended value of maxThreads is 200 per CPU, so here we assume the server is a single core machine. If it had been quad core we could push that value to 800 or more depending on RAM and other machine specs. The total threads is an aggregate value. If Apache and JBOSS are on the same server, and that server has four cores, then you would halve the maxThreads and MaxClients to 400 each." I have this question. Does this mean that maxThreads and MaxClients should both be equal to each other ? My configuration is this. Machine 1 - JBoss and Apache(2 cores) Machine 2 - JBoss(2 cores) So even though Machine 2 can use about 400 threads(200 x 2 ) it is limited by MaxClients in Machine 1 which should be only 200. Is that correct ? It is a bottleneck. Thanks, Mohan This e-Mail may contain proprietary and confidential information and is sent for the intended recipient(s) only.
