It's a Quad Core Intel Xeon with 4GB of RAM and ESX running on it. I've created a VM with 4 VCores, and all of the cores are allocated to the VM.
I'm using Sun JVM 1.6, and stressing the Guest with Loadrunner on another machine (if you ask: this machine with loadrunner isn't the bottleneck) No Databases, no I/O requests, no Network saturation. that's why I think it's the JVM. For my tests I used the standard demo webapp in Loarunner (Mercury Tours), and a couple of stupid jsp pages. So Apache and Tomcat both. Fun thing is that when using Tomcat and Apache combined, I can get an 80-85% CPU Utilization. Problem is that for my tests I need something more simple and the same server. So today I've installed the second Tomcat running calling the same jsp page of the other. No think time set. How do you saturate an 8-core host? Please help me :) Stefano Peter Crowther wrote: > >> From: Steve G.B.
