Test workloads

The tests are run using Java™ workloads, file system I/O workloads, transactional database workloads, and mixed workloads.

Java workload
For the Java workload the same internal Java application as in z/VM® 6.2 Live Guest Relocation with Linux™ Middleware was used.
File system I/O workload
For the file system I/O workload fio was used.
Transactional database workload
SwingBench was used for the transactional database workload.
Mixed workload
The relocation behavior of the transactional database workload was investigated when the source z/VM® system was under load resulting from several Linux™ guests running different workloads.
