Peoplesoft 8 TPC-C HELP!

[Craig A. Sharp]

Hello all,

This message is also posted in the HP9000 forum>

We are getting ready to begin the upgrade process for Peoplesoft 8 on our N4000/440.

The server configuration is as follows:

HP-UX 11.0
N4000/440 4-way
3 gig ram
Informix 7.31 UC4

The PS8 sizing estimates for our situation show the following tpc-c units required:

Web Server 17,175
App Server 102,000
Database Server 7,450

Total TCP-C units 126,625.

How can I determine if my system will handle the required units? Is there a conversion to TPM?
If I need to upgrade the system, how do I determine the level of upgrade needed?

Thanks,

Craig A. Sharp
