You can always give them what they want, and then show them what they really need. - Any good performance tool will help make that easier. Then work with them to understand possible growth requirements. - That may help balance using tools like CMM as mentioned over manual intervention. If your

Re: LinuxOne and Oracle License

My understanding, noting that everyone has to do there own negotiating with Oracle, is they charge for all real cores Oracle can run on. 5 IFL'S = 5 cores. Cores in reserve should not matter. How you set up your lpar's really depends on goals. The Oracle z Linux SIG is still being worked on for

Are z14 pre-reqs dynamic?

Greetings list, Like many places, we don't have a lot of prep time and can't afford many outages for maint. That said, we're looking to upgrade our 630 systems for the move over upgrading right away to 640 with all the pre-reqs. While so many fixes now being dynamic, I am hoping that the

Re: How many Intel cores does an IFL emulate

Zero might be the best quick real answer to the question in the subject. If the workload is known to run on the platform, folks might be willing to share their experiences. No matter what, consider running test that can be scaled while measuring true impact to set real expectations. IBM offers

SCRT reports created from Velocity

VoltDB on z?

With their claim to being the fastest, in-memory operational database in the world across all environments (and I'm guessing from the documentation I read that this really means all x86 only environments), one has to question how much faster and more saleable they could be on z.

Re: VoltDB on z?

I know some government locations have been looking at this and that’s what really started my thoughts on posting. And yes, while some intel servers are up over 3ghz and can be overclocked, that may not be normal from the cloud based services that are today’s real competition. On Wed, Jan 9, 2019
