Suse: Blade: Application Servers restricting cpu load

[alexander_tuerk2]

Hello,

we are running 4 application servers from different sap system on one blade on suse linux. is there are way to restrict cpu consumption based on user or on something else to prevent that one application server is consuming all the cpus?

Regards,

Alexander

You can use controller groups:

Are you experiencing problems? Because the OS does balance the CPU resources. If you have one single CPU and two processes want to use 100% CPU, both should get 50% each...

Of course when there is only one process it will get 100%, but this should not block the other systems completely. But obviously the overall system behavior will be slowish under heavy load.

You could use VMware

Install VMware ESX on the Blade, put every Application Server in a separate Virtual Machine with SUSE Linux, and configure the resources of the Virtual Machines accordingly.
