Durability Requirement Info: To ensure database durability, RAID 1 (mirroring) was used for the database logs and data on the MSA storage arrays. The application server is using a pair of mirrored disks to provide durability for all the server logs and filestore for JMS persistence.
Storage Requirement Info: An 75 minute run at an injection rate of 2970 increased storage by 19256 MB This extrapolates to 369.7 GB of storage for a 24 hour run. The database is configured with 3528 GB of storage.
Argument Passing Semantics: BEA WebLogic 9.1 uses pass-by-value as required by the EJB Specification.
