Tuning for deployment on a virtualized infrastructure
This recipe looks at some of the tuning you can perform on a virtualized infrastructure to improve the performance of your SOA Suite application.
Getting ready
This recipe assumes that you are using VMWare ESX as your virtualization environment, but the principles still apply if you are using another virtualization product. You will need the necessary permissions to make changes to the configuration of your virtual machine.
How to do it…
Consider the following items for your virtualized SOA Suite infrastructure:
We recommend that you run one instance of Oracle SOA Suite per virtual machine. We have found that this gives the best options for tuning each machine and the best scalability.
The second step is to select the number of vCPUs that will be allocated to each server. It is not best practice to allocate vCPU cycles that are not used, as then they cannot be used elsewhere. However, it is also not good to have insufficient vCPUs available...
