We use shared disks in readonly mode for WAS binaries. Since WAS7 you can separate config files needed to change for each server and files that are not changed(binaries and some other) These files we have on separate readonly disk that every other zLinux-WAS server can LINK to. Install WAS in one server, copy the binary part to another disk for readonly sharing. Works very good, saves disk and installation time. Maybe you can save more by using Shared Segments and XIP filesystems but we haven't set that up (yet).

We're running SLES11 SP1 - We're in the early stages of implementation, and are looking into CMM and Shared Filesystems. Advice we have gotten is to use neither at this stage, and we're leading that way certainly, but I wanted to get the userland consensus on it before we build all the servers and get into a position where implementation of this would be a issue. So, is CMM worth it? Shared filesystems? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
