jmeter on unix lpar

[aidy lewis <ai...@googlemail.com>]

I was thinking of avoiding live network traffic and installing Jmeter
on an IBM LPAR (logical partitioning) (UNIX) with the application
residing on another LPAR. Is this practical. Any comments?

G'day

This is practicable.

I am running JMeter server on an IBM AIX LPAR with the target application on
either the same Unix LPAR or on another LPAR on the same machine. 

(Using the same Unix LPAR is good for testing because it eliminates network
traffic entirely meaning that, if you have exclusive access to the Unix
LPAR, you can test at full load during the day without impacting other
people.)

All have having been said, for valid testing JMeter has to stand where the
client would have stood. The network is part of the system under test in
most testing and your final runs may need to run over the real network. Even
if you are only testing the server the server may behave differently
receiving its traffic over the high speed interconnect between LPARs within
the data centre than it would getting the traffic through the organisation's
network including passing through such things as routers, firewall, reverse
proxies etc.
