Disk configuration:
1x 4 Gb PCI-E Dual Port FC/AL card attached to an ST3510 FC Array.
Configuration notes:
Seven application server instances were hosted in 7 separate Solaris Containers.
Seven Containers were bound to separate processor sets where each pset
consisted of 4 cores (32 HW threads) using /usr/sbin/psrset -b PSET PID.
The eighth container used the default processor set.
The Solaris Container and Processor Set configuration is in the FDA.
Interrupts were enabled only in the default processor set.
Each Container on the system was connected to 2 subnets.
The first subnet in each container was used for driver access and
connected to the 10 GbE switch.
4 containers shared one 10Gbit NIC for this subnet and 4 containers
shared a second 10Gbit NIC for this subnet.
The second subnet in each container was used for database access
where 2 containers each shared 1 of 4 1GBit NICs for these subnets.
Mounted 2 disk mirror from ST3510 for the server logs and
JMS persistence filestore.

Benchmark Modifications
Schema Modifications:
  Tablespace sizes were increased to support the Injection rate.
  Scripts to create the DB are included in the FDA.
  Table and index initrans were modified.
  The following tables were horizontally partitioned:
  C_customerinventory, C_customer, M_workorder, M_inventory,
  O_orders, O_orderline, S_component, and S_purchase_orderline.
  The M_parts and M_bom tables were hash clustered.
  Automatic segment space management was used for all tablespaces.
  System managed undo was used.
  Table locks were disabled during the run using disable_locks.sh script.
  
Load Program Modifications:
  The load program was not modified

Benchmark Configuration Information
Isolation Requirement Info:
  The following Beans were deployed in READ_COMMITTED mode as per the
  benchmark requirement:
  Mfg      - AssemblyEnt, BomEnt, ComponentEnt, LargeOrderEnt, PartEnt
  Orders   - ItemEnt
  Supplier - SupplierCompEnt, SupplierEnt
  
  All other beans were deployed using pessimistic locking mode such that all
  selects including finders are issued with a FOR UPDATE clause in select
  statement:
  Corp     - CustomerEnt, CustomerInventoryEnt
  Mfg      - InventoryEnt, WorkOrderEnt
  Orders   - OrderEnt, OrderLineEnt
  Supplier - POEnt, POLineEnt, SComponentEnt
  Util     - SequenceEnt
  
  The ItemEnt bean was cached for 20 minute intervals by setting:
  concurrency-strategy to ReadOnly and
  read-timeout-seconds to 1200
  in bea-orders.xml deployment descriptor.
  
Durability Requirement Info:
  To ensure database durability, RAID 1 (mirror disks)
  was used for the database files and logs maintained
  on the StorageTek 3510 and ST2540/2501 Arrays.
  
  The application servers used a pair of mirrored disks in
  the Sun ST3510 FC array to provide durability for all
  the server logs and filestore for JMS persistence.
Storage Requirement Info:
  An 100 minute run at an injection rate of 3500 increased storage by 6000 MB
  This extrapolates to 87 GB storage for a 24 hour run.
  The database was configured with 8760 GB of storage.
  
  Two sets of Sun StorageTek 2540/2501 daisy-chained pairs were configured
  as 4 RAID 1 logical drives for the database files.
  One Sun StorageTek 3510 FC Array (12 x 146GB) was configured
  as a single RAID 1 logical drive to store the database redo logs.
  The other Sun StorageTek 3510 FC Array was configured with a
  RAID 1 logical drive for the application server JMS persistence logs.
Argument Passing Semantics:
  Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3 uses pass-by-value as required by the EJB Specification

(**  24 = 0.75 * 32).  Explanation:  For the purposes of counting the number of 
processors which require licensing, a multicore chip with "n" cores shall be 
determined by multiplying "n" cores by a factor of .75).



Other Benchmark Information
  This submission used the xerces implementation 2.8.1 provided
  with Oracle WebLogic 10.3.
  
  Requests were sent to the Appservers using DNS round robin,
  with the database node acting as the DNS server.
  

General Notes
The only errors in the driver log files were those that are normally
generated by this benchmark.

On the database, incremental checkpointing ensured that no buffer will
remain dirty (in the cache) for more than the allowed time.
