Java webapp extremely slow after upgrade

[oos]

Hi,

I upgraded yesterday from 1.9 to 2.0 using pve-upgrade-1.9-to2.0 script and followed the steps in Wiki.

My 1.9 install was using pve-.....-4 instead of pve-.....-6 or pve-.....-7 since this issue was also found in those kernel versions.

VM was set to use 2 CPUs and a CPU-related setting was changed from 100 to 8000, then 20000. Before upgrading to 2.0, Jenkins CI server in a VM took 3 minutes to produce a build, it takes now 45min, no new code has been checked in, no new test has been added or ran.

CPU is running about 5% in VM and 47% in host, there are other VMs in host not doing much when Jenkins started a new build.

What would be a suggestion to fix this? Other than install 1.8, upgrade to 1.9 and change boot list to boot pve-...-4 first?

Assign More/all CPU Power to the container. (as it was with 2.6.32-4)

Thanks for the suggestion Tom,

ran:
# v

zcpucheck
and assigned Power of the node value to VM but still Jenkins took 44 minutes to produce a build that took only 3 minutes with Kernel ​

2.6.32-4.
Any hint/suggestion?

Hi,
Away from server now, but have a couple of questions:
Since I first installed 1.8 and upgraded since then to 1.9, ...., 2.0, 1.8 worked fine with Kernel 2.6.32-4, 1.9 had same issue with Kernels 2.6.32-6 and 2.6.32-7, after upgrade to 2.0 Will those kernel be removed from boot list? Will 2.0 work with 2.6.32-4?

Regards,
OO

there is still some misunderstanding. 2.6.32-4 kernel does not respect the cpu limitations. that means, if you run on a dual socket server with 4 cores the container got all this cpu power - 8 cores in this case. but most got the cpu number set to one.

now, as the new kernels respect the cpu the container does not use 8 cores, just one. Now the container is much slower, especially cpu hungry containers got issues.

so if you want the same cpu power as before, assing 8 cpus.

Hi Tom,

My server is an Asus 1U LGA 775 1 CPU Socket Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM,.....
I assigned 2 cores and v

zcpucheck Power of the node output to some VMs that use Java (VM1=Jenkins, VM2=sonar, VM3=Nexus, VM4=JAMES,...) but all of them were mainly idle except Jenkins where I manually triggered a build. Max CPU % used by Jenkins was ~ 5%. I would be careless if VM uses all CPU power, this is a Home setup.
I though CPUs set to 2 would fixed, should I increase that number even though I only have 1 CPU, 2 Cores?

Hi,

Ended up wiping out 2.0, installing 1.8 and apt-get .... upgrade to 1.9, so kernel used is 2.6.32-4. and Java webapps ran as before.
I noticed there is a "Enable User Quota" setting, that I didn't enable while on Proxmox 1.9 (2.6.32-7) and 2.0 (2.6.32-10), actually I don't remember of this setting exists in 2.0.
Should I have enable this setting while maxing out CPU Units with

Power of the node outoup value?
