It is a temporary solution due to scsi no working yet on TC.
Following VMware folks proposal, tests will run on VMware ESX. As a comparision, also Xen Express. They are all enterprise level virtualization system.

SPECweb running

SPECweb news:
Tune the simultaneous session value from 1 to 10, but never get valid run
Use the specwebclient option -lo
#java specwebclient -lo
output will write to "specwebclient1099.out", no direct clue yet. An email inquiries on "invalid run" should be sent to the specweb support.

The inconsistency is that the dataset produced by wafgen is 10 sessions, but the specweb is using 5 sessions.
When having tuned to 10 sessions for specweb to run, there were 40 sessions running on the TC, there were 1% degradation for good, 1% for tolerance.
