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 300 increased storage by 641 MB This extrapolates to 12.3 GB of storage for a 24 hour run. The database is configured with 1008 GB of storage.
Argument Passing Semantics: BEA WebLogic 9.0 uses pass-by-value as required by the EJB Specification.
