Host system setup

Edit online

The host system used in the test scenario was an IBM® zEnterprise 196 (z196), Model 2817-M66.

On this host system, an LPAR was configured with processor and memory resources, as described in Table 1:

Table 1. LPAR processor and memory configuration
Resource
Shared Processors (CPs) 32
Memory 200 GiB

The use of shared processors was chosen because this is the typical configuration for customer environments.

Note: Shared IFLs (Integrated Facility for Linux type processors) could have been used instead.
