These courses are being delivered by an IBM Global Training Provider

Develop the skills to measure, analyze, and tune common performance issues on IBM POWER systems running AIX6.

Learn about performance management concepts and techniques and how to use of basic AIX tools to monitor, analyze, and tune an AIX6 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, filemon, 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.

You are expected to have basic AIX system administration skills. These skills can be obtained by attending the following courses:

  • AIX System Administration I: Implementation (AU14)
  • or Power Systems for AIX II: Implementation and Administration (AN12)

It is very helpful to have a strong background in TCP/IP networking to support the network performance portion of the course. These skills can be built or reinforced by attending:

  • AIX 5L Configuring TCP/IP ( AU07 )
  • or TCP/IP for AIX Administrators (AN21)

It is also very helpful to have a strong background in PowerVM (paricularly micropartitioning and the role of the virtual I/O server). These skills can be built or reinforced by attending:

  • System p LPAR and Virtualization I: Planning and Configuration (AU73)
  • or Power Systems for AIX - Virtualization I: Implementing Virtualization (AN30)


Who Should Attend?

This 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

Power Systems for AIX IV: Performance Management Training Course in Australia

Australia is the smallest continent yet it's also one of the largest countries in the World. As the oldest and flattest continent, Australia is a mega-diverse country with a vast variety of landscapes, climates and animals. Canberra is the capital city while Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne are the more popular ones. Australia is a developed country with a high-income economy and a member of the United Nations, G20 and the Commonwealth of Nations.

While cricket and football are the most popular sports in Australia, the Australian Open tennis grand slam tournament is a major international event that takes place in this country. The island of Tasmania has the cleanest air in the world. Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Great Barrier Reef, Kangaroo Island, Kakadu National Park, Whitsunday Islands and The Pinnacles are some of the jaw-dropping places in Australia.

We offer a wide range of IT courses, from cybersecurity, data science and software development to business skills and project management, and we can host training at your preferred location in Australia. Let our experienced instructors provide you with hands-on training and practical insights.
