A customer would like to have a mix of SSD and HDD on their S824 using the Expanded Function (18 disk) backplane (EJOP) and does not want to use Easy Tier functionality.
How can this be accomplished?
A company wants to consolidate six existing AIX workloads onto a single POWER8 server with six LPARs.
Which server option will satisfy the requirement?
A customer will purchase an SB24 server to replace a Power 520 with IBM I V5R4. Middleware integration and securing business critical data is important to the customer.
What will allow the customer to support all of the requirements?
A customer has a Power 740 with 16 cores and 64GB RAM, running an Oracle database. The server is attached to an EXP24S with 20 disks 300GB 10K RPM and has been experiencing performance issues. After an analysis there were some findings:
Average CPU usage for the database is 30%
Average Memory usage is 60%
High I/O waits are being experienced, around 50% of total CPU
An Oracle sales representative ran a POC of an Exadata X4-2 Half Rack to help with the performance issues.
The performance on Exadata was better than the existing solution, so the customer called IBM, considering a migration to a new Oracle solution.
Which response is appropriate to defend the IBM solution?
A customer is ordering a 4-core S814 with the following partitions:
An IBM i partition capped at 1.0 processors
A second IBM i partition capped at 0.5 processors, running a Web Sphere application.
An AIX partition capped at 0.5 processors.
A Linux partition capped at 0.5 processors.
How many Web Sphere licenses are required to support this configuration?
