Everyone,
I must be dense but I am having performance problems and need some help.
I have a server with two physical processors, 8 cores per socket with a total of 32 logical processors.
I have three WIndows servers running with SQL running on two of them.
We are getting some outrageous spikes in processor time in the Windows OS performance tab.
The one server is a web server and it runs extremely slow at times.
I have attached a picture of the individual virtual machine CPU settings. I assume this is the best but I don't really know what to select here if I should do higher number of sockets or cores per socket.
I have read some material and to be honest it goes a little over my head.
Does anyone have any straight English best practice recommendations. My CPU's in the VM are spiking at 80% and averaging around 15-20%.
I can also use http://www.fossiltoys.com/cpuload.html to watch a load go on there.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks,
Brad WIlson
