Hi,
We have a pair of 15400 appliances that are currently configured with 4 cores for the SND instances and 8 cores for CoreXL instances. These appliances come with 2 physical CPUs of 8 cores each. As such, 4 of our cores are currently unassigned.
Now, if I try to increase the amount of CoreXL instances to 12, I end up with 6 CoreXL instances on each physical CPU. This leaves 2 cores per physical CPU for the SND, but I was told by someone that the SND cores should not be split across multiple physical CPUs. Is that really the case?
Ideally, we need to keep 4 cores for the SND because going lower (2 for example) increases the CPU load by a lot on these cores. I would like to also use the currently unused cores for CoreXL instances in order to lower the overall CPU load on these appliances.
Thank you in advance.
Regards
