- To tune some parameters you must investigate what causes the failure. Otherwise you will waste your time optimizing the wrong options. (If you look close enough at the complete system, there are several dozen of options where you can tune: io settings of the os, memory settings, bios settings, tcp/ip settings, java vm settings, tomcat settings, db settings) Most of te option depend on your application an the type of load it has to handle.
- To do a restart on a VM crash is a good idea anyway.
