About this publication
This white paper is the second of two closely-related white papers that describe IBM® Enterprise Content Management (ECM) scale-out case studies for Linux™ on z Systems™. This white paper examines the setup, tuning, and performance aspects of an ECM system that is implemented as a virtual environment under z/VM®. The ECM system is based on the IBM FileNet® P8 5.2.1 and IBM Content Navigator 2.0.3 applications.
- Scale-Out Case Study (Part 1) - Single ECM Node with XFS and Spectrum Scale 4.2 (the first white paper), which focuses on a single ECM node with an XFS file system or IBM Spectrum Scale™ as FileNet File Storage Area. The setup, tuning and performance analysis of the ECM components and IBM Spectrum Scale are described for the
system under test
(SUT). - Scale-Out Case Study (Part 2) - Multiple ECM Nodes with IBM WebSphere® Application Server Cluster and Spectrum Scale 4.2 (this white paper), which focuses on the scale-out to multiple ECM nodes in a WebSphere Application Server (WAS) Cluster, and the effectiveness of IBM Spectrum Scale as a distributed parallel filesystem. In addition, the Spectrum Scale cluster configurations Shared Disk (SD) and Network Shared Disk (NSD) are tested.
