AW: maximum stripes in a logical volume

Hi, http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/rhel6/rhel_6_lvm_admin/rhel_6_lvm_stripe_extend.html My thoughts: · your stripecount also defines the count of disks you need for proper extending. · performance wont be increased much, if you define more stripes than I/O channels

My 2 cents: Take 3-4 IFLs and put this Oracle on it. Enough for 98% of the coming load I think... Take 2-3 OpteronBoxes for the Java in front of it. AND! Put some other project on the zBox. Never make the mistake and size (especially) a z-machine for the peaks you need. You also shouldn't take

Hello, We have a Test SAP Appl Srv. It should go in prod soon. REAL Hardware at moment is 2 IFL, enough RAM. later 6 IFLs, more RAM. System is up 120day, suddenly cpu-consuming starts 2 days ago. System lags like hell. I found in the internet things like USB, WLAN driver problems and Blaster

If you mean legacy PUs and IFL PUs, then answer is: yes. You can mix it in a mainframe. BUT: You can not mix it in one LPar. Maybe it will be developed by IBM when there are customer request for hosting z/OS, OS/390, maybe old MVSs AND z/Linux in a big z/VM LPar. regards fs

Im sorry, but: What is going on here? I was sure, someone would give a statement about the real current state of PAV on Escon DASDs. Are there still problems replying to posts? What I/O performance do you get, and how? At moment we are creating a concept with a combination of raid-striping

I am sorry, I dont want to get that wrong: You are really using PAV since 4 years? You are able to access ONE Dasd parallel over multiple different escon channels at the same time? What I/O did you measure? We get 6-9 MB/sec with normal access, until 30-40 MB/s over 8 Channels and 8 Stripes

Should be no problem, to do so. You have to have an FTP Server with those installation files, an IPL-tape or a HMC+CD to IPL and of sure a/some 3390 DASDs. You can migrate this lpar-installed system without any problems into a zVM. If you take care of some VM and TCPIP/subnet definitions

Hi! This WinTel/Mainframe-article is a price/performance-only-comparison. Even with a transcendental tuning it would be hard to beat WinTel in such a kind of benchmark. But did you notice, that the mainframe-costs are the same for 1 server and for 96 servers...? :) (I dont have the time to
