RE: changes in RHEL6 vs RHEL5

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Well, one thing I am eager to start testing is the improvements for IO on virtualized servers.  In a webcast I attended a while ago Red Hat promised great improvements for DB2 on a virtual RHEL6 due to improvements with Direct I/O with SR-IOV.

Perhaps http://www.redhat.com/f/pdf/tburke_rhel6_full_webinar_loopback.pdf can be of use.

Regards

Bram
