G'day This is practicable.
I am running JMeter server on an IBM AIX LPAR with the target application on either the same Unix LPAR or on another LPAR on the same machine. (Using the same Unix LPAR is good for testing because it eliminates network traffic entirely meaning that, if you have exclusive access to the Unix LPAR, you can test at full load during the day without impacting other people.) All have having been said, for valid testing JMeter has to stand where the client would have stood. The network is part of the system under test in most testing and your final runs may need to run over the real network. Even if you are only testing the server the server may behave differently receiving its traffic over the high speed interconnect between LPARs within the data centre than it would getting the traffic through the organisation's network including passing through such things as routers, firewall, reverse proxies etc. Ian Blavins Contract Performance Engineer Temenos -----Original Message----- From: aidy lewis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 10 May 2007 13:53 To: [email protected] Subject: jmeter on unix lpar I was thinking of avoiding live network traffic and installing Jmeter on an IBM LPAR (logical partitioning) (UNIX) with the application residing on another LPAR. Is this practical. Any comments?
