Good point, Jim. Multiple JVM's per server make for chubbier servers. We once had 100 on a z9 with 2 IFLs (dev/test) Given that, a 54 way z9 could run 2700 of those, perhaps?? Maybe?
We now have about 200 on 34 IFLs (mostly z10 EC). Obviously all servers are not created equal... When I get asked how many can run on an IFL (which I know wasn't what you asked, August), my new answer is "How many rocks can you carry?" ;) Marcy "This message may contain confidential and/or privileged information.

But servers are not equal. One shop may have 800 servers and they may be user sandboxes or Apache servers. Another may "only" have 556 servers but they support over 2600 jvms and http instances. The characteristics of the servers is very different. -- James Vincent On Tue, Nov 17, 2009 at 3:03 PM, Richard Troth <[email protected]> wrote: 556 on two z/10s, 184 in production and 372 dev/test. -- R; <>< On Tue, Nov 17, 2009 at 14:53, August Carideo <[email protected]> wrote: > those running LINUX guest's - how many are you running > Is anyone running any where near a 1000, there was a post on the Z/os list > regarding > thanks, > Augie >
