Test Procedures

The server and all clients were rebooted prior to each test run. Once the

server and clients had successfully booted, the required number of TSE client

sessions (i.e., 1-6 client sessions per client workstations) was started on each

client. Then, the Performance Monitor was started as a background task on

the server. Each Visual Test script was then started manually, as quickly as

possible. Once all the clients had completed execution of the script, the

Performance Monitor was stopped and all temporary files were deleted from

the server.

This section characterizes the behavior (i.e., elapsed time, processor

utilization, network utilization and memory utilization) of HP NetServers with

various client loads (i.e., 1, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72).

In order to establish an application baseline (0) value, the script was run at the

server and the Performance Monitor was used to monitor server activity. The

application baseline value is included on some of the charts under the "0"

column.
