System z – LPAR Configuration

Edit online

For the first set of evaluations an IBM® System z196, Model 2817-M66 was used.

That system was equipped with 66 CPs, 12 SAP and 1328 GiB customer storage. On that system two LPARs – LPAR1 and LPAR2 – were identically configured, as follows:

  • 4 shared central processors (CPs)
  • 20 GiB central storage
  • 2 GiB expanded storage

Two FICON® Express4 4Gbit channel cards were used for the switched FCTC connections between the two LPARs.
