About this publication
This white paper is the first 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 IBM Spectrum Scale™ 4.2 (this 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 (the second 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.
