Executive Summary In recently conducted measurements, using Lotus Development Corporation s NotesBench benchmark, the IBM PC Server 330 system demonstrated leadership performance and price/performance running Lotus Domino Server Release 4.51 on Microsoft Windows NT Server Version 4.0 with Service Pack 3. The results for the IBM PC Server 330 are based on two NotesBench workloads: Mail-only and Mail and Shared Database (MailDB), which were run on a single configuration. The results are summarized in the following table. Test Script Maximum Users NotesMark (tpm) Ave. Response Time (sec) $/User $/NotesMark Mail-Only 2,200 2,917 0.360 $13.45 MailDB 1,700 3,914 1.427 $17.40 $10.14 $7.56 The IBM PC Server 330, configured with two 233MHz 1 Intel** Pentium** II processors, 512MB of memory, and nine 4.51GB 2 hard disk drives, supported a Mail-only workload of 2,200 active mail users and a MailDB workload of 1,700 active users (see price/performance results 3 above). In addition to the IBM PC Server 330 system under test (SUT), the benchmarked configuration used three destination servers, 13 client driver systems for Mail and 15 for MailDB, and one controller system. All systems were connected on a single 100Mbps Ethernet LAN segment, using the TCP/IP network protocol. Configuration details are provided in Appendix A: Overall Test Setup and Software Versions. The Server Performance Laboratory in the IBM PC Company conducted the benchmark in September, and KMDS Technical Associates, Inc., audited the results in September. NotesBench provides an objective method for evaluating the performance of different platforms running Lotus Domino Server Release 4.51. NotesBench generates a transactions-per-minute (tpm) throughput metric, called a NotesMark, for each test, along with a value for the maximum capacity (number of users) supported, and the average response time. Benchmarking Objectives The benchmark objective was to provide customers with information on the number of Lotus Domino Server Release 4.51 Mail-only and MailDB users supported on the new IBM PC Server 330 system with two 233MHz Pentium II processors. Performance measurements on IBM PC Servers using NotesBench for the Domino Server Release 4.x are ongoing. 1 MHz only measures microprocessor internal clock speed, not application performance. Many factors affect application performance. 2 GB is the abbreviation for gigabyte; 1GB equals one billion bytes; total user-accessible capacity may vary. 3 The price/performance results are based on pricing provided by an IBM Business Partner. IBM resellers set their own prices, and actual prices may vary. 3

Test Methodologies Test Setup and Hardware/Software Configuration The IBM PC Server 330 system under test was configured with two 233MHz Pentium II processors (512KB of L2 write-back cache); 512MB of memory; nine 4.51GB Wide Ultra SCSI Hot-Swap hard disks configured as a RAID-0 array, using the IBM ServeRAID II Ultra SCSI Adapter; and one EtherJet 100/10 PCI Adapter. (The integrated IBM ServeRAID SCSI controller and the integrated 100/10Mbps Ethernet adapter were not used.) For these tests, a single 100Mbps Ethernet LAN segment was used. The system under test, the destination servers, and the driver systems were connected to the LAN by two Asante 100BaseT Hubs. An IBM PC 350 computer was used as the source driver (parent) system; IBM PC 350 computers were used as the client driver (child) systems. Three IBM PC Server 720 systems were used as destination servers. Destination mail addresses were distributed across these three destination servers. The RAID controller stripe size for the RAID-0 array was changed from the default value of 8KB to 16KB. The IBM PC Server 330 system under test ran Microsoft Windows NT Server Version 4.0 and Domino Server Release 4.51. The Name and Address Book in all the clients contained person documents for 3,000 mail recipients who were randomly selected by each active Mail or MailDB user. The following NOTES.INI parameters were modified as recommended in the NotesBench operator s manual: Mail-Only Workload LOG_MAILROUTING=10 MAILLOGTOEVENTSONLY=1 MAILUSEPROCESS=0 MAILUSETHREADS=1 MAILMAXTHREADS=3 NSF_BUFFER_POOL_SIZE=14000000 SERVER_SHOW_PERFORMANCE=1 MailDB Workload LOG_MAILROUTING=10 MAILLOGTOEVENTSONLY=1 MAILUSEPROCESS=0 MAILUSETHREADS=1 MAILMAXTHREADS=3 NSF_BUFFER_POOL_SIZE= Default SERVER_SHOW_PERFORMANCE=1 The following parameters were added to suppress database activity logging after long runs and to capture server console output: NO_FORCE_ACTIVITY_LOGGING=1 DEBUG_OUTFILE=D:\SUTDATA\SUTINFO All Notes server tasks were disabled except Replica, Router and Update. All Notes data files were located on the E - partition. The Notes executables were placed on the C - partition. Test Procedures 4

During ramp-up for both the Mail and MailDB tests, all users were added over a period of 120 to 200 minutes to accommodate the test environment in which a single Notes client had to support up to 220 users. In both tests, the system under test ran for an extended period of more than 8 hours. During the test runs, the tools used to determine steady state included Windows NT s PERFMON, the Notes Server SHOW command, and the child driver RES files. To confirm steady state, we monitored the number of users, the number of transactions per minute, and pending mail at the SUT. We confirmed steady state when: Y Y The SUT Notes Server console sustained the peak user load Pending mail did not become backlogged, as verified by: Y Inspection of mail-routing log at the SUT after the test run ended Y Pending mail snapshots prior to stopping the test run. To ensure that the test results were reproducible, the tests were repeated, and the results were compared and found to be consistent. 5

Data IBM PC Server 330 NotesMark Value for Mail-Only Test The Mail workload was run for at least 8 hours, including ramp-up and steady state. The IBM PC Server 330 system demonstrated that it can support 2,200 concurrent active users with this workload. The NotesMark throughput value was 2,917. Average response time was.360 seconds. 3,000 Mail-Only Workload - NotesMark IBM PC Server 330 2,500 Per Minute 2,000 1,500 1,000 500 0 NotesMark = 2,917 The Mail workload executes Notes transactions that model a server for mail users at sites that rely only on mail for communication. The resulting capacity metric for a mail-only server is the maximum number of users that can be supported before the average user response time becomes unacceptable. The mail-only test script models an active user who is reading and sending mail. The script contains an average of 15 minutes of waiting; thus, the average user would execute this script a maximum of four times each hour. For each iteration of the test script, there are 5 documents read, 2 documents updated, 2 documents deleted, 1 view scrolling operation, 1 database opened and closed, 1 view opened and closed, and some miscellaneous operations. In sending messages, each user sends a mail message to NumMessageRecipients no more frequently than every 90 minutes. 6

IBM PC Server 330 NotesMark Value for Mail and Shared Database Test The MailDB workload was run for 8 consecutive hours, including ramp-up and steady state. The IBM PC Server 330 system demonstrated that it can support 1,700 concurrent active users with this workload. The NotesMark throughput value was 3,914. Average response time was 1.427 seconds. A single error occurred in child driver 7 during ramp-up, and recovered. The error resulted from a too-rapid ramp-up schedule, but the SUT was able to handle the ramp-up user load with no further errors. MailDB Workload - NotesMark IBM PC Server 330 Per Minute 4,000 3,500 3,000 2,500 2,000 1,500 1,000 500 0 NotesMark = 3,914 The MailDB workload models a server for active users who are performing only mail and simple shared database operations. The test includes mail-only activity plus view operations in a shared database and navigation of unread documents in a shared database. The test applies especially to sites that rely primarily on mail for communication or that have Notes users who do not yet use all the Notes features. The throughput for this test is a capacity metric. It indicates the maximum number of active users that can be supported before the average user response time becomes unacceptable. The MailDB script models an active user who is reading mail, sending mail and reading a shared database. It contains an average of 15 minutes of waiting; thus, an average user will execute this script no more frequently than four times per hour. For each iteration of the script, there are 8 documents read, 2 documents updated, 2 documents deleted, 4 view scrolling operations, 2 databases opened and closed, 2 views opened and closed, and some miscellaneous operations. In sending messages, each user sends one mail message to NumMessageRecipients approximately once every 90 minutes. 8

Analysis Mail-Only and MailDB Tests: During ramp-up, use of PERFMON to observe system activity showed that the performance of the tested configuration was limited by the amount of memory installed. The IBM ServeRAID II Ultra SCSI controller has three Wide Ultra SCSI channels; only two channels were used for these tests. One channel was used for the disk drives in the SUT; the other channel was used to connect to the expansion unit that held the additional disk drives. Because of the significant system overhead required to monitor the disk subsystem, disk I/O performance data was not collected. 10

Conclusions The test results demonstrate that an IBM PC Server 330 configured as described within this report can support 2,200 Mail-only users and 1,700 MailDB users with a response time well within what the test criteria permit. These results are based on running the IBM PC Server 330 as a dedicated Domino server; the addition of other application workloads will affect the number of users supported as well as the response time. Achieving optimum performance in a customer environment is highly dependent upon selecting adequate processor power, memory and disk storage as well as balancing the configuration of that hardware and appropriately tuning the operating system and Domino software. These results demonstrate that the IBM PC Server 330 system provides outstanding price/performance in a hardware platform for the Domino Server environment. 11
