<h1 class="topictitle1">Guest partition scenario: Linux applications on the iSeries</h1>
<div><p>This scenario demonstrates how you can use the reliability of the iSeries™ to
run Linux<sup>®</sup> application.</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Situation</h4><p><br /><img src="rzait508.gif" alt="Example of three servers running a business." /><br /> </p>
<p>You
are the system administrator of a company with three servers boxes. Each server
performs unique tasks for your business. These servers are as follows:</p>
<ul><li>The IBM<sup>®</sup> system
runs the ordering system which is the core business application.</li>
<li>The UNIX<sup>®</sup> web
server is your corporate intranet web server.</li>
<li>The Microsoft<sup>®</sup> based file server is used for sharing
and backing up files.</li>
</ul>
<p>These servers provide services to computers on your company's network.
Your company wants to consolidate aging equipment to streamline the company's
information technology (IT) operations and to improve server availability.
The company also wants to increase application flexibility using an open-source
operating system. What should you do? </p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Solution</h4><p>The following image shows the consolidated iSeries server
running logical and guest partitions.</p>
<p><img src="rzait509.gif" alt="Example&#xA;of a partitioned iSeries with Apache web server and Samba on a guest partition." /> </p>
<p>After researching and planning your partitioned environment,
you created four partitions on your new server using iSeries Navigator. You allocated the
minimum amount of hardware resources to your primary partition. All of the
information on your older AS/400<sup>®</sup> was migrated to partition P1 running OS/400<sup>®</sup> V5R2.
This release provides the flexibility of dynamically moving logical partition
resources among partitions without a system restart. You installed the Linux operating
system on partition P2 and P3. Partition P2 runs Apache and is your HTTP server.
You installed the Samba software to partition P3. This partition provides
file and print services to Server Message Block (SMB) clients.</p>
<p>All of
the partitions own directly attached LAN adapters. Each of these LAN adapters
are connected to the corporate network. Your employees are still able to access
data from each of these partitions using either their laptop computers or
workstation.</p>
<p>Now that you have your new configuration, you are still
concerned about protecting the corporate network. You believe that your current
firewall solution is inadequate and you want a more customized firewall application.</p>
