We're having a long running over a beer discussion about how best to configure one of our applications. During our last drinking session, er, debate, we thought it might be interesting to post here and see what, if any, consensus there is. In brief: when load balancing client network connections across multiple instances of an application, is it better to run multiple separate 1 virtual IFL linux guests, each with a separate copy of the application, or a single, large N virtual IFL linux guest with several copies of the application running inside it? Assumption: you have enough real IFL's to back the number of virtual IFL's you'd assign. Our real situation which gave rise to this question: We're running the tivoli monitoring suite of products on our z system in linux guests. As per IBM's documented recommendation, we're running one TEMS process for each apx 500 client systems we monitor. Currently, we have this configured as a number of separate linux guests, each running it's own copy of TEMS. With expansion we have budgeted for next year, though, we'll have enough real IFL's to consider consolidating all these TEMS proceses into a single, multi-virtual-ifl linux guess. We're not sure if there would be any cp scheduling benefits to either configuration, or any resource benefits (e.g. storage usage, or paging). Help support our fluid fueled debates ! What're the group's thoughts, please?
