Power Systems for AIX IV: Performance Management
Develop the skills to measure, analyze, and tune
common performance issues on IBM Power Systems running AIX.
Learn about performance management concepts and
techniques and how to use the basic AIX tools to monitor, analyze, and tune an
AIX system. The course covers how virtualization technologies such as the
PowerVM environment and workload partitions affect AIX performance management.
Monitoring and analyzing tools discussed in this course include vmstat, iostat,
sar, tprof, svmon, netstat, lvmstat, and topas. Tuning tools include schedo,
vmo, ioo, no, and nfso.
The course also covers how to use Performance Problem
Reporting (PerfPMR) to capture a variety of performance data for later
analysis.
Each lecture is reinforced with extensive hands-on
lab exercises which provide practical experience.
The materials include AIX 7.1 enhancements and the
exercises are executed on a POWER8 lab environment.
