In a test environment I have Linux 2.6.34.5 compiled with the source
code from kernel.org and qemu-kvm 0.12.4 installed from the Backports
repository of Debian GNU/Linux.
In this environment I have running the following virtual machines:
* 2 x OpenBSD (2 x 512 MB) |
* 2 x Debian GNU/Linux (2 x 256 MB) |
* 2 x Debian GNU/Linux (2 x 512 MB) +--= 11008 MB
* 1 x Centos 5.5 (1 x 256 MB) |
* 8 x Debian GNU/Linux (8 x 1024 MB) |
I'm just starting to test KSM, so I was using as reference the read of
the tests made by RedHat about run as many as 52 Windows XP VMs with 1
GB of RAM each on a server with just 16 GB of RAM.
In the previous case the ratio would be 52/16 = 3.25. In my case the
VMHost has 4 GB of RAM, so the ratio would be 10.75/4 = 2.6875. In RH
tests do not talk about the amount of swap used in that case, so I
wonder if a distribution of VMs as I have, it is normal to use 290 MB of
swap.
Regards,
Daniel
