Re: new Power9, going from 1G to 10G Enet...

You're right, you have CPU overhead on SEA and Etherchannel, and bandwidth
overhead on 10Gb attached to your IBMi.
In fact you get 5~7 Gb according to customer experience .

Diego,
Where are you getting that fact from? 10Gb throughput has overhead. But I
haven't seen how a 10Gb link can consume additional CPU compared to the 1Gb
one.
That's comparing SEA to SEA. SR-IOV, vNIC or other technologies might have
overhead but related to the virtualization itself...

Remember: 10Gb puts some CPU overhead. Sometimes 1Gb x N adapters is

better

(+ CHGTCPA with 1 MB Send/Receive Buffer)

This is where Navigator is your real friend. You can simply bring up a
graph and see how much Ethernet you are using. I'll bet it's 15% or
below. Most folks way over estimate how much the line is doing.

No, only theoretical calculation (moving x GB over z minutes). We've
gotten rid of most of those requirements. Now our only pipe issue is
offsite HA replication.

Have you actually measured that and found that the ethernet line was
nearing 100% utilization?
