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 Malta

Officially known as the Republic of Malta, is an island country in the Mediterranean Sea, South of Sicily. While Malta being the world's tenth smallest country in area and fourth most densely populated sovereign country, the capital city of the island country is Valletta. Malta consists of three islands: Malta, Gozo, and Comino and Malta is the largest island among all. The official languages of Malta are Maltese and English and based on the data from 2019, the population is about 514,564.

Winter season in Malta is delightfully mild, with temperatures above 12 degrees, so it makes the Maltese Islands a perfect year-round destination. But tourists usually prefer traveling to Malta either in April, May or June. Since in those months, Malta is warm without being too hot. In the early Spring season, travelers may also enjoy the glorious wildflower season.

Enhance your IT skills with our comprehensive array of courses, spanning programming, software development, data science, and project management. Benefit from the convenience of choosing your preferred location in Malta as our experienced instructors deliver interactive training and real-world insights.
