Hi I agree with Marcy, having both the Production and Development in separate LPARS and setting reasonable WEIGHTS for the LPARS gives you more control over the CPU resources between the workloads and then you can set the relative share between the workloads running within each LPAR.
I would also mention that you should make sure that you have plenty of PAGGING space defined as well as ample spool space defined. I just took my POC into production two weeks ago. This included 13 Linux guests with a combined 15 TB Oracle data base. So a lot of this is fresh in my mine. If you have any specific questions please feel free.

Make another z/VM LPAR and put production in it. (we put ours in a different data center 2000 miles away to really make sure they don't affect each other :) Even with share settings, you don't want a outta control test server affecting production.

We put the test, develop and production zlinux environment in the same z/VM partition. So what we must do to make the production zLinux more 'special' than others? I understand it is the shared environment. Sunny Hu sunny...@wcb.ab.ca ________________________________ This message is intended only for the addressee.
