The cpuLimitForCappedVMs custom property defines a the
target processor utilization percentage for WebSphere® Virtual
Enterprise processes that run on
virtual machines. This custom property value is maintained for virtual
machines that have a defined processor utilization limit.
You can specify the cpuLimitForCappedVMs custom property on the
cell with a percent value between 0 and 95%. If you specify 100%,
the limit is equal to the limit that is placed on the virtual machine
in the VMware software.
The custom property value is the target utilization that WebSphere Virtual
Enterprise maintains for virtual
machines that have processor utilization limits. This value should
be the highest value that maintains virtual machine and system stability.
If your virtual machines are constantly being overloaded, lower
the cpuLimitForCappedVMs value. To determine if a virtual machine
is being overloaded, look for the following conditions in your environment:
- The virtual machine is running at 100% of its processor utilization
limit for a long period of time.
- The average service time of requests is going up, indicating that
requests in the application server are being queued.
