HiHi, We manage several customers on VMWare systems. Their Tomcat installation is used by a Content Management System written in Java. I have a question about what happens with Tomcat when memory it has configured is not available when necessary.
Our Tomcat installations should use 500 MB (-Xmx516m). But when that memory is not used, VMWare will take it away, and give it to other VMWares that are in need of memory. This will not be a problem for a while. But at one moment Tomcat may wish to use this memory, and VMWare will not be able to supply it directly. What will happen in that case? F.W.I.W. We use Debian Linux in our installations. Tomcat gets 500 MB, total memory is 2GB. Abel
