  • 1.  How to understand "4 cores per users" requirement

    Posted Tue May 18, 2021 06:58 AM

    Hi

    In 11.2 requirement :

    IBM Software Product Compatibility Reports

    Ibm remove preview
    IBM Software Product Compatibility Reports
    Software product compatibility reports
    View this on Ibm >

    It mentions "We recommend a minimum requirement of 4 CPU cores for one user." , do you know how IBM define "USER"?

    Thanks



    Tao

    @Tom Z Thank you for brining this to our attention. I agree the information is not clear and we will work to update it. It's trying to convey that if you install with minimum requirements you would not want to have concurrent user load on the system as it can cause high resources utilization. A user is a single person logged into the system. Minimum requirements are meant for sandbox environments and not a production instance.

    As always, best to get a sizing exercise completed so you know the recommended settings for your user load.

    Hope that helps.​
