Hi, We're planning to acquire a z890 processor w/ 1 CP for a z/VM CMS workload and 2 IFL engines for an eventual z/VM zLinux workload consisting largely of Domino and WebSphere.
We're expecting to run 10 Domino email DPARs and possibly up to 10-20 WebSphere servers, although we don't know just yet what those applications will be. We're trying to determine how much real storage to include on this z890 processor. z890 storage comes in 8Gb increments. IBM tells us the HSA will be 1Gb and we plan to reserve 2Gb for the CMS workload. That potentially leave 5Gb for the zLinux workload and I'm trying to determine if thats enough, especially since I'll want to reserve a third or so of it for expanded storage. We haven't even tested Domino yet and have just one light WebSphere server running currently, so we don't have much effective feedback on storage requirements. We're currently running z/VM v4.4 but will be migrating to v5.1 soon. For any of you who are running Domino and/or WebSphere, what do you think? Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide.
