We've just obtained an evaluation copy of Websphere Commerce Suite and DB2 for Linux/390. We are currently using SuSE 7.0 with the 2.2.16 kernel until our order for SuSE 7.2 arrives.
The install manual is a bit vague about how much disk space is needed, just saying it needs 1 volume for Linux and 1 volume for the product, but it doesn't say how it's distributed among the various subdirectories. It also looks like it requires write access to /usr (ours is r/o shared commonly) so I'll have to create a separate /usr volume for this virtual server. >From anyone who has installed this and has it running: How much disk space do I really need for /home? /opt? any other subdirectory under root used heavily by these products? And what's the minimum virtual storage I can get away with? The manual specifies 1GB, and that's as big as our whole VM LPAR. We'd end up stealing like crazy.
