Hi, All,
I'm doing some "window shopping" for a possible future "server
consolidation" effort, and one of the initial questions that has arisen
is "how much central storage is needed" to run z/VM, Linux and possibly
Oracle? The initial hardware platform would likely be a z9BC that
currently runs two z/OS LPARs and an ICF. Given current workloads and
projects in progress, an initial foray into the z/VM + Linux world
probably would not occur before the GA date of z/VM 5.3, and two initial
Linux candidates are SLES 10 and RHEL 5. Oracle, if attempted, would
likely be the "most current" release. Specific questions:
1) What is the minimum central storage (memory) required to run z/VM
5.3 and "a handful" of Linux (and possibly Oracle) images?
2) What would be a "comfortable" allocation of central storage for #1?
TIA,
-jc-
