Do those 60 MQ Servers do any real work? From our brief stint of testing with MQ on zLinux it is a resource hog CPU/MEMORY/IO. I don't have any numbers on performance, but MQ can be rather Computensive especially when using Persistency. I would have to guess that 2 IFL's may not do the trick.

Does this seem doable? Are there network considerations with this? Currently the 60 servers reside on the same raised floor sharing the same network backbone so I don't forsee any problems but I could be wrong. thx -------------------------------------------------------------------- Lionel B.
