[ovirt-users] Tunable parameters in ovirt engine

[Juan Hernández]

With the default configuration of the web server it is impossible to 
handle more than 256 *connections* simultaneously. I guess that "ab" is 
opening a connection for each concurrent request, so when you reach 
request 257 the web server will just reject the connection, there is 
nothing that the JBoss can do about it; you have to increase the number 
of connections supported by the web server.

Or else you may want to re-consider why you want to use 1000 
simultaneous connections. It may be OK for a performance test, but there 
are better ways to squeeze performance. For example, you could consider 
using HTTP pipelining, which is much more friendly for the server than 
so many connections. This is what we use when we need to send a large 
number of requests from other systems. There are examples of how to do 
that with the Python and Ruby SDKs here:

   Python:

   Ruby:
