I'm having issues with a 100% CPU VM .......
I've been requested to add a second CPU. I am not convinced that this wil resolve the situation.
The problem is that it runs an application which itself runs several instances of MS access, which sends the CPU load skywards.
The host is not maxing out as far as CPU load goes, so shares are not coming into play. At worst, the host has 50% CPU peak load over all VMs. (host has 8 x3G CPUS)
Does anyone have any suggestions ? Ideally it needs to be on its own physical box, however the vmware implementation was supposed to reduce the physical boxes so I can't really do that.
