|
|
differs from other IBM<sup>®</sup> offerings.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Linux on Intel has
|
||
|
|
a different implementation strategy than Linux on POWER™. IBM provides drivers to the distribution
|
||
|
|
of Linux to
|
||
|
|
function in this environment. The environment would look like a hosted partition
|
||
|
|
in the iSeries.
|
||
|
|
The same use of the virtual disk and I/O are used for the Intel version as used
|
||
|
|
on POWER.
|
||
|
|
The Integrated xSeries<sup>®</sup> implementations
|
||
|
|
give the ability to use PC adapters that are supported on Linux and allows
|
||
|
|
for special application development.</p>

|

|
|
<div><p>There are two implementations of Linux on the iSeries, it is important to understand
|
||
|
|
which one meets your needs. The criteria for an application might dictate
|
||
|
|
which to use. Listed below are several points to consider for an Intel implementation:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>Does the application only run on Intel Linux?</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Is the application CPU intensive?</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Does the iSeries have
|
||
|
|
enough CPW capacity to support a Linux on POWER implementation?</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Are special hardware devices required for an application that is not supported
|
||
|
|
under the iSeries POWER Linux?</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Do you have a Integrated xSeries Server or Integrated xSeries Adapter running Windows<sup>®</sup> today
|
||
|
|
that you want to migrate to Linux?</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>Listed are things to consider for the POWER implementation.</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>Do you need more control of resources on the iSeries?</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Do you want to use Dynamic processor movement?</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Do you need several small Linux partitions?</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>Other factors might dictate which method to use.</p>
