AN510 IBM Power Systems for AIX IV - Performance Management

5 Days

30 CPD hours

This advanced course is for: AIX technical support personnel Performance benchmarking personnel AIX system administrators

Define performance terminology Describe the methodology for tuning a system Identify the set of basic AIX tools to monitor, analyze, and tune a system Use AIX tools to determine common bottlenecks in the Central Processing Unit (CPU), Virtual Memory Manager (VMM), Logical Volume Manager (LVM), internal disk Input/Output (I/O), and network subsystems Use AIX tools to demonstrate techniques to tune the subsystems
