Hello again
Unfortunately the budget was fairly tight on this project. I have 2 p550's with the below configuration
3 * HBA for SAN connectivity
1 * Quad Ethernet
1 * Single Ethernet
1 * Storage Controller
4 * 72gb HDISK
4 CPU
16GB Memory
I need to create
1 * Production Database server (8gb Mem) - 2 CPU
1 * Production ERP server (13gb Mem) - 3.5 CPU
1 * TSM Server (2gb Mem) - .1 CPU
1 * Test ERP Server (4gb Mem) 1 CPU
1 * Test Database Server (4gb Mem) 1 CPU
I have proposed to configured as below
1 * P550 With
1 * VIO Server (1gb mem) .4 CPU
The above with all hardware apart from 1 * HBA. Etherchannel with the quad card and single card for interface backup to create 1 Shared Ethernet presented to both servers
1 * Production ERP server (13gb Mem) - 3.5 CPU
The above with Virtual SCSI, rootvg from internal HDISK and SAN disk for ERP
1 * TSM Server (2gb Mem) - .1 CPU
The above with Virtual SCSI, rootvg and TSM vg from internal HDISK (not enough SAN disk) and a dedicated HBA for the 3582 Tape unit
1 * P550 With
1 * VIO Server (1gb Mem) - .4 CPU
The above with all hardware apart from 1 * HBA. Etherchannel with the quad card and single card for interface backup. 1 Shared Ethernet presented to each server
1 * Production Database server (8gb Mem) - 2 CPU
1 * Test ERP Server (4gb Mem) .8 CPU
1 * Test Database Server (4gb Mem) .8 CPU
Each client will have internal rootvg disk and SAN disk for application. I am proposing to give the production database server a dedicated HBA. Etherchannel with the quad card and single card for interface backup to create 1 Shared Ethernet presented to both servers
Can anyone make any suggestions on improving this configuration with what I have / doing it any different
TIA
