JBOSS 4 and Hyper-V?

sebagari Apr 10, 2012 3:50 PM

Hello, I have a consultation on JBOSS

1.4.2.0-GA in a Hyper-V Windows 2008 R2. The physical server has 2 quad coreprocessors and 36GB of RAM. The Hyper-V is set to 4 processors and 16GB ofRAM. My question is whether this version of JBOSS is right to use multiple cores and hyper-v or if you should use another version of JBOSS? Which? Is there anydocumentation you can read about this topic? You are missing some update to version 1.4.2.0-GA?

Today (java.exe) on the server uses only 22% of the processor and the systembecomes very slow. Restart the JBoss and returns to work well.

Thank you.

I haven't used Hyper-V, but have run various versions (from 4.2.x through 7.x) of JBoss AS in VirtualBox and VMWare, in both Windows and Linux VMs, both 32-bit and 64-bit, and haven't run into any issues (but then, I haven't done any extensive performance testing in those environments either). You will need to do some performance testing and profiling to figure out what the slowdown is. And you might have to do that for both the VM and for the server on which it is running, so you might need some Hyper-V performance tuning expertise.

Looks like you are running JVM 1.6.0_29 (that's what I'm runnign and it also yields build number 20.4-b02), which is reasonably up to date. Some of people i work with have noticed issues with this and reverted to 1.6.0_26, but I don't think those were performance-related issues (I think they were network-related).
