Hi Jeff,
Below is statistics from vmstat while everything is running including

So with this, I have:
Free Swap: 22 GB
Free RAM: 10 GB
Here I am doing a defensive supposition by assuming 5/10 GB of Free RAM
"could be" occupied by future applications (if any). So, I am left with 5 GB
of Free Memory. Same for Free Swap, assuming I am left with 5 GB Free Swap
Putting values in MaxClient Formula:
MaxClient = (RAM Size - some room for other processes) / Avg
HTTPD Process Size
MaxClient = (32768 - 27648) / 12 = 426 (approx)
Does it mean, I can set MaxClient value to 426 ? If yes, then:
(i) I have to make sure ServerLimit is also = 426 [As per your presentation
for MPM prefork] ?
(ii) Make sure backend server node (tomcat AJP port) can accept 426
concurrent requests ?
Bye,
Viki.
