Reg: Establishing the Base line for Performance Testing Server
Hello All,
I need advice and guidance from you all experts on "Establishing the Base
line for Performance Testing Server".
I have been asked to form an Performance Testing Server so as to carry out
all my testing activities on that machine. I have two options for the
server....
A. Virtual Machine (*VMware ESX*) (No bar for RAM and HDD)
B. Physical Machine. (No bar for RAM and HDD)
What could be the concerns if I prefer to go with A or B.
Please tell me with which I should go so that I will not be face any issues
related to Performance Testing like issues in tuning, Capacity Planning etc.
Your advise is really appreciated.
Regards,
Nisha G.

Hi Nisha,
There are numerous forums and posts available if you Google, where people try to tackle with a similar dilemma.
1. Despite unlimited memory capacities and low risk of hardware insufficiency , VMs are never suggested for carrying out performance related tests as VM being a part of huge huge servers are still not able to imitate the behavior of physical machines.
For further consent, you may refer to "http://blogs.vmware.com/vmtn/2007/04/response_to_loa.html"
2.Also an unsolicited suggestion, do make sure you have all your test environment in the same network to avoid network delays. That will help you capture accurate results.
--Regards,
Sidhant

Hey
Have you thought about the Network for the two options?
