Does the physical hosting your VM have more than 8 CPUs?
How many other VMs are running on it?
Is the "steal" CPU percentage at zero?

Hi,

I'm having a problem with a new VM which we just put into production.

We have 4 physical web servers, all running the same webapp.  They are all
running RHEL 5.6

This new VM is configured the same way, the only real difference is that it is
CentOS instead of RHEL.

The apache configs are identical except for IP addresses.

The kernel parameters are also as identical as I can tell, by using sysconfig
-a and comparing the outputs between the two.

All physical servers have 8 cpus, and 48 gig of memory

The VM has 8 CPUs, and 30 gig of memory

The application goes to a load balancer, which then balances among the systems
using a least-connection protocol.

All servers have a 1 minute load of around 5, and an average of around
200-300  reqs/second

The problem is that when the req/sec starts to climb on the VM, all of a
sudden the load average skyrockets to 40-50 or even higher. This kills the
server and makes it totally unresponsive.

Anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance
