Power Systems for AIX - Virtualization II: Advanced PowerVM and Performance
You will learn how to implement advanced IBM PowerVM
features, such as Active Memory Sharing, Active Memory Expansion, shared
dedicated processors, and multiple shared processor pools.
Additionally, you will learn skills to implement,
measure, analyze, and tune PowerVM virtualization features for optimal performance
on IBM Power Systems servers. This course focuses on the features that relate
to the performance of IBM POWER processor-based systems, AIX, and the special
monitoring, configuring, and tuning needs of logical partitions (LPARs). This
course does not cover application monitoring and tuning.
You will also learn AIX performance analysis and
tuning tools that help an administrator take advantage of shared processors and
other virtualization features of the IBM Power Systems servers.
Hands-on lab exercises reinforce each lecture and
give the students practical experience.
