Application server instances

You can review the recommendations for choosing a number of application server instances.

Please keep in mind the following when determining the number of WebLogic instances:

• Configure at most one WebLogic Server instance per processor - If you have a 4-way node (4 processors), then configure at most 4 WebLogic Server instances on that node.
• Plan for a single WebLogic Server instance to be able to use at most 4 (preferably 2) processors. If you have an 8-way node, you should not implement one WebLogic Server instance and expect it to effectively use all processors. With this rule, to fully utilize the node, you should plan for two to four WebLogic Server instances.
