We currently have setup our 4.1 SP4 server in a clustered environment with Web Application Server (Tomcat- Bundled with BO) on one machine. It currently has 10 GB and 6 Cores CPU. We did a small load test last week with around 25 users (or less) but when I was monitoring my CPU and Memory usage on this server, it was almost 100%. it was most of the time 70-80% but reached to 100% soon. Other servers (including CMS) are looking much better with well under 10% CPU and 20-30% Memory.
I have requested for memory upgrade since then but questions are
1) Why is there 100% consumption of memory on web application server when no other services are on this box
2) What else I should monitor to make sure this will perform better for big load
Does anyone has any ideas or sugggestions?
thanks
