Tips for performance

[elbabar]

What's your tips for increase performance for your server. 

 

I have a dedicated server (Bi Xeon, 64Gb of RAM, a mixed raid on Hard drive on SAS): 

I have an Hypervisor Xen on Debian 

• a virtual machine MS 7 with 8Gb of Ram for Arma 3 Server (60% of ram used max with 60 players)
• a virtual machine Debian with 4Gb of Ram for Redis Database
• a virtual machine debian Firewall for filtering
• ...

=> my server arma 3 restart quickly,

=> the performance of arma 3 server is better

=> you can backup Virtual machine before an upgrade.

 

 

If u have other idea ^^

 

PS : Sorry for my bad english, i'm french :P

Arma3 server doesn't like VM's.. You lose an easy 30% performance.

So 1st tip would be to use dedicated hardware , despite the (very nice) benefits of VM's.

Where are you see arma 3 server doesn't like VM ?? i have a server with no restart from 1 month, and on Linux, it's same or better ...

The objective, is to separate the redis database from the arma 3 server (but if you have money, you can use 2 dedicated server ^^)

 

But if you have 1 big dedicated server, all CPU and RAM for Arma 3 and redis (in my case perhaps) seems crazy to me.

 

In my case, my hypervisor, have 2 cpu for him, 2Go de ram, the other CPU and RAM is for VM.

 

And if you rent a server by a hoster for gaming server, i think, the server is not a dedicated server, but a dedicated VM :p

I've tested his server....and GOD !!! It's the better perf that I had ever on an epoch Server !!!

 

Thanks elbabar for sharing these tips !!!

 

We may, thanks to you, experience a great improvment on lots of other servers !!!

FYI : If you upgrade from a 2 core 2GhZ machine to a kickarse VM, you will see improvements.

But I replied straight the the question in the OP : VM servers perform considerably slower then non-VM's
