Database:

y2 libraries with 500 physical files and 20 logical files

16.7.2 5XX Large system Hardware Configuration

570 7476 16 way - 256 GB Mainstore DASD / 924 35GB arms 15K rpm arms,

RAID protected, 3 ASP's defined, majority of the DASD in ASP2 - Mainstore dump was to ASP 2

yThis system was tested with 2 TB of database files unrelated to this test, but this load causes a long directory recovery.

595 7499 32-way - 384 GB Mainstore DASD / 1125 35GB arms 15K rpm arms

RAID protected, 3 ASP's defined, majority of the DASD in ASP2 - Mainstore dump was to ASP 2

yThis system was tested with 4 TB of database files unrelated to this test, but this load causes a long directory recovery.

Software Configuration

400,000 spool files (400,000 completed jobs with 1 spool files each) 1000 jobs waiting on job queues (inactive)

11000 active jobs in system during mainstore dump

200 remote printers

6000 user profiles

6000 libraries

Database:

y25 libraries with 2600 physical files and 452 logical files

y2 libraries with 10,000 physical files and 200 logical files

NOTE:

yPhysical files are explicitly journaled

yLogical files are journaled using SMAPP set to *MIN

yCommitment Control used on 20% of the files
