Title: Technical Design Advice Needed - Significantly Growing my CMOD Platform
Post by: tjspencer2 on May 19, 2017, 04:27:02 AM
My CMOD system is swallowing another system that is 3 times its size and that has 9000 reports in it. 

I'm looking for physical design guidance beyond what IBM provides and am looking to scale horizontally with additional object servers.

My System Today
I'm running my Library Server and Object Server on one LPAR and also doing loads on this same LPAR and am archiving to TSM on a separate LPAR.  On my Library/Object server I've allocated 700 GB of 90-days Cache @ 80% utilization and have allocated 4.4 TB of TSM storage at 70% utilization on my TSM LPAR.  I have 180 APPs today across 50 AGs serving up 1200 internal users and up to 250000 external users.  My system today is totally running PDF Indexer based reports.

The System I'm incorporating is currently 10 TB - we think we can get it down to 7TB by eliminating outdated reports.  It has 3000 users and 9000 reports. That said, it's equivalent to my system twice over.  Also, this system is completely mainframe print streams and datasets/text reports.

The Design
I think at a minimum I need to add 2 Object Servers to account for the additional cache and report management and will after report analysis determine how I spread the reports across those two new LPARs.  Any thoughts here?

I'm unsure of what my options around load management?  Today, I load all my APPs on my Library/Object Server LPAR.  Do I set up load jobs on each of the new object servers I'm creating, OR do I set up a 3rd LPAR to manage ALL my loads?

Thanks in advance for any guidance or documents that help vet some of these items out.
