You mean, in server loading, what happens when you hit an I/O capacity limit?

Sorry to say something so obvious, but the answer is to get more I/O capacity.

But you want a real answer, of course. No disrespect intended.

First, this rarely happens. In fact, you more often run out of RAM and CPU than you run out of I/O. If you are already out of RAM or CPU then also running out of I/O capacity is just another spoiler for the fun.

So, no matter which resource you run out of you have to (a) reduce the number of Browser Users (BUs) or (b) you have to move to a more powerful driver machine as your base.
