This past weekend, we moved our Oracle E-Biz installation from physical hardware (3.6 Ghz; 2 CPU + HT) to VM's.
This went well (not suprising) except we are seeing high (higher then expected) CPU usage on the database.
The database was moved to a 2 CPU vSMP VM. Per Virtual Center, the average CPU usage of the database guest is
about 50% with no users actually using the application (E-Biz always did seem a bit chatty).
When we first moved the application, we tried, 1, 2 and 4 vCPU guests and a slight increased performance with each CPU we added.
Is anyone else running E-Biz on ESX? Are you seeming similar results?
Thanks
