Actually, this leads me to a related question I have been wanting to ask: is anyone aware of an analysis of the difference between a single-IFL vs a multi-IFL system under VM?
We have an application we wanted to bring up under VM/Linux, but when we tried it we had great difficulty with it and eventually backed it off. It struck me as peculiar that the image we were using as a database server (running MySQL) took sometimes 80% of our single IFL. There shouldn't have been enough database activity to eat that much CPU. Our CIO chewed off the head of one of the local IBM guys (unfairly, IMHO) over the whole debacle. It seems to me that having a multiprocessor system could have made a difference for us, outside of the obvious doubling of CPU cycles. (The aforenamed now headless IBM guy had arranged for us to get a loan of another IFL, but the doctors here were inflicting too much pain on our CIO for him to be game for the delay it would have meant.) Would having multiple IFLs have eased our pain in regard to processing a client-server app? Seems like it would. Thanks, Jon <snip> Maybe running only with 1 IFL could be a issue, If you have a model 230, then you can install 2 IFL´s and try to test the scripts again. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
