Optimizing the VM for Best DefensePro VA Performance
Radware recommends optimizing the VM running DefensePro VA as follows:
•
Pinning the DefensePro VA vCPUs to physical cores/hyperthreads and not let them be shared
with other VMs, and to prevent the hypervisor from moving them. Memory over-subscription is
discouraged.
•
In a hyperthreaded environment, it is best to configure an even number of DefensePro engines
and allocate whole physical cores (both hyperthreads on each physical core) for DefensePro VA,
and not mix them with other VMs.
•
On a host with multiple CPUs using the NUMA architecture, Radware recommends assigning all
DefensePro VA vCPUs to cores/hyperthreads on the same NUMA node.
For the core pinning procedure, refer to the VMware documentation.
•
Assigning the PCI NICs that are connected to that same NUMA node to DefensePro VA running
on a specific NUMA node.
