Vivek,



Is the application normally on a different server from the database?



YES. APPlication server is a different machine vis-à-vis the DB Server.



If they are normally separate, then using a different server for one piece 
won't change your result.



COULD YOU EXPLAIN PLEASE?



But if they are normally on the same server, then benchmarking them on separate 
servers will add a network delay.



NOT Applicable.



Dennis Williams

Qs. 1 What is the impact on Database Performance of Kernel Tuning Parameters in 
Solaris 10, AIX 5.3?



Scenario:-

We the Software Product Vendor need to INTERNALLY do a comparative performance 
benchmark between a Lower Application/Oracle Version & a Higher 
Application/Oracle version to check for performance gain.



Qs 2 While the customer has BOTH APP & DB Servers on SUN what would be the 
impact of us internally benchmarking with SUN APP Server but with AIX DB Server?

Is this approach advisable or a definite NO-NO?

NOTE - Currently a SUN DB Server is NOT available internally though it will be 
shortly from now.



NOTE - Any Kernel parameter Tuning for performance that we carry out on the AIX 
DB Server during the benchmark Runs may NOT be translatable directly to SUN at 
Customer Site.



Thanks indeed
