This report and the tests were driven by the IBM Benchmark Team based in Montpellier (FR) using our solution Zetaly Automated Capacity (ZAC).


Context 

  • Zetaly Automated Capacity (ZAC) is a widely used product to control and optimize IBM Z capabilities
  • One of the main usage of ZAC is to dynamically control Defined Capacity, and optimize the LPAR DC depending on       the incoming workload, and the given set of CPU ressources 
  • To adjust the LPAR attributes, ZAC uses the BCPii interface to communicate with the underlying IBM Z 

Scope 

  • The test scenario will be focused on Defined Capacity for the LPAR, using ZAC
         - as it is the most common usage scenario for clients 
  • ZAC is using only BCPii API v1 (non rest) 
  • ZAC will be installed and configured on 3 LPAR, on a single CPC 

Objectives 

  • Measure BCPii performance improvement between IBM z15 and z16
