Hi we have a load balanced environment where same J2EE application is running on two VMWare based servers, hosted on same ESX Host. Hence, the OS/Platform/Hardware and everything else is same. Issue is that application deployed on one server responds faster than application deployed on the other server. The difference is response time is consistent and noticeable (like 3 fold) Please provide any pointers that will give some hint what could be going wrong.
A:
Write some simple test pages, and time the requests for both application instances. Each page should do something specific, like access the database, or write to the file system, or perform some complex calculation, or look up something in JNDI. Compare the times and see if there are any patterns.
