IBM System z hardware and software used

Edit online

This section provides an overview of the software and hardware configurations used to set up the system under test (SUT).

The SUT forms a three tier architecture consisting of an application server, a database server and a client machine.

It is implemented on two LPARs on an IBM® z196 (Model 2817-M66) as follows:

  • One for the application server and the IBM HTTP server (IHS) web server
  • One for the database server

The SUT used a DS8800 storage subsystem connected with 8 FICON® Express8 features, shared with both LPARs.
