studying doing just that and would like any information as to what size box
you have it on, how many users and what is the CPU usage.

We're not a Notes shop, so my knowledge about Notes is limited. But
from various IBM presentations my understanding is that any processor
that can run OS/390 UNIX System Services should be able to run
Lotus Domino for S/390. ("Domino" being the new name for what used to
be "Notes Server"). Check out:

plans to roll it out to over 6500 users around 1st qtr of next year, right
now we only have about 50 users running in production on OS/390 (mostly
Tech Support & Operations). Our CPU usage so far has been very minimal, but
from the info IBM/Lotus has provided us it would take 30-40% of one of our
RY5s with 4.5.3 to run this many users depending on what functions are
used. CPU usage should depend on whether you are running just mail, or if
you are also using calendaring and applications. I think this usage was
based on 1,000,000 transactions per day. Also, we will probably not roll
out to a large number of users until Domino 5.0 is available. There is
supposed to be a significant performance & CPU usage improvement from 4.5
to 4.6 and then another significant boost at 5.0. We will also upgrade to
OS/390 2.5 or 2.6 before rolling out.
here are some interesting IBM web sites with info on Domino for OS/390:

Subject: Notes on a mainframe
Does anyone have experience with Notes on a CMOS mainframe? We are
studying doing just that and would like any information as to what size box
you have it on, how many users and what is the CPU usage.
