Loading application is slow when Appeon Cluster works in virtual machines

After configuring the PowerServer cluster to work in virtual machines, it is very slow to open the Web application from the Web Server.

Cause:

When receiving the requests from the client, the Web Server needs to search for the available application servers. During this time if one of the application servers is shut down, then the Web Server will not search for the next application server until the session times out.

Solution A (Recommended):

We strongly recommend clustering PowerServer across physical machines instead of virtual machines, because physical machine is more stable and faster in performance and network communication.

Solution B:

If PowerServer cluster must work in virtual machine, please check and make sure all application servers are turned on.
