This paper describes how Micro-Partitioning technology can be employed on an IBM System p5 550 server with the Linux operating system to set up flexible partitioned configurations for the performance robustness of Micro-Partitioning in a mixed transactional environment. The paper covers two scenarios and describes how special features of the System p5 with the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 9 SP3 operating system allow clients to consolidate different kinds of servers among independent partitions onto one IBM POWER5 processor-based server and shows inter-partition performance effects. Understanding how shared resource Micro-Partitioning entitlements, weighting, and uncapped mode can help system administrators and system planners configure partitions that closely match their server workload requirements.
