Jeongseob, For Solaris/SPARC it's the only practical way.
I forgot to mention that Flexus is compatible with Ultrasparc III (i.e. sun4u platform) so a real machine with Ultrasparc T1,T2 (sun4v) will not work for your purposes. If you don't have a real machine then you need to install everything in the simulated machine (DB2, tuning, populating databases, etc) but this procedure will be VERY SLOW and difficult if you are not experienced with DB2 and the whole procedure of setting up a DBMS with OLTP and DSS workloads. Feel free to ask more questions.

Which operating system (solaris or linux) and architecture (sparc or x86) are you interested in? I can explain you in depth what you have to do for (c) and (d).

I want to install DB2 to build OLTP and DSS workloads by using mbench toolkits. Firstly, I downloaded the DB2 trial version from IBM website. Then, i tried to install DB2. However, the simics does not offer x-windows. So, i can't install the DB2. Can anyone give me some advice that setup commercial workloads ? Thanks in advance - Jeongseob Ahn
