The big difference is that servers are running under 20% (in general). The mainframe is running at 100%. >Does that mean that potentially that 1 mainframe has the equivalent of at >least 130 network cards? One OSA card can support 13,000 sessions (or, so I've been told). Most z have at least two; four is not unheard of. So, even with VIPA supporting redundancy, that'a a lot. And, multiply it by 30. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
