Reference workload - Java workload

Edit online

In z/VM® 6.2 Live Guest Relocation with Linux™ Middleware a Java™-based workload was analyzed with respect to its relocation behavior when various ISFC logical link configurations were used.

For reference purposes, we selected the Java workload results obtained with the ISFC logical link configuration described in z/VM configuration that uses sixteen straight FCTC connections on four FICON® channels. This ISFC logical link configuration is used for all tests described in this paper.

Figure 1 shows the relocation and the quiesce times for the Java workload.

Bar graph showing Java workload relocation and quiesce times

Figure 1 shows that for the Java-based workload a relocation time of 22.6 seconds and a quiesce time 2.78 seconds were observed. This result is subsequently referenced for comparison.
