I'm trying to compare an HP DL360 running RHEL4 with a T2000 and Solaris
10. It's been a number of years since I used Solaris so I probably
don't know how to best tune it anymore.
My test was to setup each with Apache2 to act as a download server.
With nearly equal traffic to each (~240Mbps), the linux box had more
httpd processes and a lower load average.
I really expected the Sun to way out perform the HP/Linux box.
Is there something I over looked?
root@sun-t2000 (/opt/csw/apache2/) 210> ps -eaf | grep http | wc -l
1507
root@sun-t2000 (/opt/csw/apache2/) 215> uptime
4:38pm up 17:40, 3 users, load average: 1.77, 4.04, 3.14
[root@hp-rhel4 conf]# ps -eaf | grep http | wc -l
2028
[root@hp-rhel4 conf]# uptime
17:24:55 up 5 days, 6:15, 2 users, load average: 0.56, 0.69, 0.45
The only significant change I made was to Apache2 as follows:
<IfModule mpm_prefork_module>
StartServers 2000
MinSpareServers 10
MaxSpareServers 50
ServerLimit 2048
MaxClients 2048
MaxRequestsPerChild 10000
</IfModule>
