gssa started task - very high cpu utilization

This is my first post to this list. We are experiencing very high mips usage by a third party product - sysview/cacommon serices. Since I upgraded to Sysview 12.5 the GSSA(stc for common services) has been causing high spikes in cpu during various times of the day. Of course I am working this i

Re: Any ROT for DASD Response time

Short answer: yes. And you go on to agree. Let's take a look at the OP's issue: Not meeting SLA's. A logical first place to look is DASD, and we find 'delays'. What kind of delay and how long of a delay we don't know. The question is how long of a delay is normal and to be expected. A ROT for a

Re: System x and Power 7?

Well, for IBM to be able to run Windows on the x86 blades I would think that first there would have to be some sort of contractual agreement between IBM and Microsoft to license the Windows OS. That might be more difficult to accomplish that the technical aspects of the hardware itself. Tom Kelm

Re: System x and Power 7?

Basically the system x blades are x-series hardware in a blade format. This means wintel. We have a couple blade chasses sitting here with Intel-based blades in them, some running windows server, some running VMWare on them. Power 7 is the latest iteration of the power chip which is the RISC chip

Re: System x and Power 7?

system x blades are Intel x86_64 processors: I.e. Windows & Linux/Intel stuff Power7 is the latest RS/6000 processor incarnation - AIX. The AS/400 stuff also runs on Power7 processors, but apparently is not supported in this announcement. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Se

Re: System x and Power 7?

In short: System p >> RS6000 System i >> AS/400 System x >> x86 blades (pc architecture) So the zBM extentions will first support running AIX workloads and somewhere next year support for running x86 linux will be added. I saw mentioned somewhere that there will be no support for windows running

System x and Power 7?

Well, I'm following the new zEnterprise announcement and downloading docs as fast as I can. But I have a little problem with the nomenclature. I remember the days when there was the AS/400 and RS6000 and mainframes and PCs. Then came system i, p, x, and z, and I never really followed anything but
