This information is provided to assist you with configuring the IBM Power™ Systems communications that are necessary before you can configure MIMIX.
MIMIX supports the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) communications protocol.
MIMIX should have a dedicated communications line that is not shared with other applications, jobs, or users on the production system. A dedicated path will make it easier to fine-tune your MIMIX environment and to determine the cause of problems. It is recommended that the TCP/IP host name or interface used be in its own subnet.
Your Certified MIMIX Consultant can assist you in determining your communications requirements and ensuring that communications can efficiently handle peak volumes of journal transactions.
If you plan to use system journal replication processes, you need to consider additional aspects that may affect the communications speed. These aspects include the type of objects being transferred and the size of data queues, user spaces, and files defined to cooperate with user journal replication processes.
MIMIX IntelliStart can help you determine your communications requirements.
