Running SQLFire in Virtualized Environments
Using a newer operating system version such as Red Hat 6 or SLES 11 can help performance in virtual
environments. VMware provides a best practices guide.
See the Enterprise Java Applications on VMware Best Practices Guide for detailed information about deploying
applications on VMware vSphere
.
Use newer operating system versions, such as RedHat 6 and SLES 11, to avoid issues with the performance of
gettimeofday in virtualized environments. SQLFire makes calls to gettimeofday for managing
membership, distribution timeouts, expiration, eviction, recovery, and so forth, and a much larger number of
calls when enable-time-statistics=true or enable-timestats=true.
