Test Management
The HiTest configuration was managed using the Systems Management Server (SMS)
Administrator, as described in the following procedure:
1. Launch the SMS Administrator and enter the “sa” password when prompted.
2. Select the Sites Window type (this is the default) and click OK.
3. To view domains, double click the site icon in the left pane.

Test Process and Results
The following information describes the test results:
• Lotus Domino Mail – The simulated Notes mail clients reported no errors.
• File Shares – STM I/O tool reported no errors. The WinBatch scripts reported no errors
during file copy and comparison operations.
• RAID – When configuring the RAID disk sets using the RAID Array 230 RAID
Configuration Utility (RA200RCU.EXE), initializing disks can take a long time. It took
about one hour to initialize a 4.3 GB disk. For more information, see the section on
RAID Array Configuration in Chapter 4.
• Mail – In the minimum configuration, 58.64 MB was transferred at an average rate of
20.36 KB per minute. In maximum configuration, the transfer rate was approximately
twice that of the minimum rate. These figures apply to interoperability testing. For
performance testing results, see the section Workload Capability in Chapter 2.
• Network – When operating a server that is expected to provide high-performance
network services (such as Lotus Domino), the server should be on its own LAN segment,
preferably with a high-speed interconnection such as Fast Ethernet. This can be achieved
by the use of an Ethernet switch.
• System Management Station – The Systems Management Server (SMS) Client
performed as expected.
