832 IBM Eserver i5 and iSeries System Handbook
Notes for all summary tables
1. CPW is used to measure the performance of all iSeries and AS/400e
processors. The CPW value is measured on maximum configurations. The
type and number of disk devices, the number of workstation controllers, the
amount of memory, the system model, other factors, and the application being
run determine what performance is achievable. For more details, see
“Commercial Processing Workload” on page 42.
2. The 9404 Model B10 with 16M main storage and 945M of Disk assigned
value of 1.0. All data for 70% system utilization and maximum configurations.
IBM RAMP-C workload. Customer results may vary.
3. There are particular limitations within SSP, which means that quoted
minimums and maximums are often with OS/400 installed.
4. RSP CPW 5.5/17.1 refers to interactive and client/server environments
respectively on the 9401 Server 10S. RSP RAMP-C of 1.9/5.9 also refers to
these two environments in the same order.
5. Three LANs are allowed when running IBM Firewall for AS/400 (5769-FW1).
6. One tape is required.
7. Does not include Operations Console.
8. These cards may have one or two LAN ports. The #6617 SPD Integrated PC
Server can have up to three ports.
9. V4R2 or later is a prerequisite for optical library support.
10.Either #9329 (PCI cards) or #9331 (SPD cards) must be chosen on a
#5064/#9364. Therefore, columns two and three below this point are mutually
exclusive.
11.The lower figure is for #2175, #2179, and #2180 processors. The higher
number is for the #2181 and #2182 processors.
12.External DASD can be attached through an SPD disk controller in this unit.
Notes:
Commercial Processing Workload (CPW) values give a relative
performance rating of all iSeries processors.
The capacities shown may require prerequisites. Some combinations of
features are not valid.
