In the baseline configuration, two virtualized databases were run in parallel. After several tests using HammerDB and an OLTP workload, a baseline configuration was developed. The following table shows the vCPU and memory allocation for each virtualized database
Resource reservation | Baseline configuration per virtual machine | Total across two virtualized databases |
vCPU | 6 cores | 12 cores |
Memory | 384 GB | 768 GB |
