I just setup a new HP UX 11.31 (using 3/2010 DVD media) VM 4.2 host (rx2600 server) and created 2 guests (HPUX 11.31 EOE and BOE). My DBA told me that Oracle db creation is 140% - 200% slower on the VM guests vs. a regular physical server (with same 2GB memory, same kernel settings, and same CPU qty 2). How to performance tune on the VM guests so Oracle will run faster? Thank you.
Regards,
Jan Shu

Re: How to Performance Tuning on HP Integrity VM 4.2 host and guests
On rx2600 you maybe having 4 cores.
How have you done the cpu allocation ? How many cores to which VM and what % entitlement ?

Re: How to Performance Tuning on HP Integrity VM 4.2 host and guests
Hi,
certainly you will get slower performance in VM if your configuration & planning is not proper... suppose the guests are using same disks for oracle & both to are accessing the disks simultaniously ... its going hamper the server performance....
You you should plan the gust configuration, in a way that ... boths the gust should not use same physcical resource simultaniously....
Hp Virtual Machines Installation,
Configuration document have some sessions about performance..

Here is the hpvmstatus output: Does this setting look OK to you??
Thanks,

SolutionYour DBA is reading off a website. If you give the HPVM guest sufficient memory and CPU, there should be negligible change in time to execute commands.
HPVM is a mature virtualization scheme that has very low overhead.
Now its true, if we have a truly high volume, high impact system, we'd prefer to configure it in a vpar, but its pretty much the right tool for the right job.
Comparable performance of oracle in a hpvm guest situation is possible with normal tuning techniques. Kernel in the vm guest, just like you would do in a regular machine.
