Additional improvements have been made in Domino 7 to support more users per Domino partition. Internal benchmark tests have been run with as many as 18,000 Notes clients in a single partition. While we understand most customers will not configure a single Domino server to regularly run that number of clients, improvements have been made to enable this type scaling within a Domino partition if desired. A recently published audit report (January 2006) for the System i5 595 demonstrates that 250,500 R6Mail users were run using only 14 Domino mail partitions with most running 18,000 users each.

Domino Domain Monitor

Included with Domino 7 is the Domino Domain Monitoring facility which provides a means to monitor and determine the health of an entire domain at a single location and quickly resolve problems. Some of the System i guidelines included for acceptable faulting rates have shown to be a bit aggressive, such that customers have reported that memory alerts and alarms are being triggered even though system performance and response times are acceptable. Work is in progress to make adjustments to future versions of the tool to adjust the faulting guidelines. If you are running this tool and experience alerts for high faulting rates (above 100 per processor), the alerts can be disregarded if you are experiencing acceptable response time and system performance.

11.4 Domino 6

Domino 6 provided some very impressive performance improvements over Domino 5, both for workloads we’ve tested in our lab and for customers who have already deployed Domino 6 on iSeries. In this section we’ll provide data showing these improvements based on testing done with the Mail and Calendaring User and Domino Web Access workloads.

Notes client improvements with Domino 6

Using the Mail and Calendaring User workload, we compared performance using Domino 5.0.11 and Domino 6. The table below summarizes our results.
