Learn to implement advanced PowerVM features such as Active Memory Sharing, Shared Dedicated Processors, Multiple Shared Processor Pools, N_Port Virtualization, and Remote Live Partition Mobility.

This course focuses on the features that relate to the performance of the POWER6 processor, AIX 6.1, and the special monitoring, configuring, and tuning needs of logical partitions (LPARs). This course does not cover application monitoring and tuning.

You will learn skills to implement, measure, analyze, and tune PowerVM virtualization features for optimal performance on IBM System p servers.

You will also learn about the AIX 6.1 performance analysis and tuning tools that enable an administrator to take advantage of the Micro-Partitioning and other virtualization features of the System p servers.

Hands-on lab exercises reinforce each lecture and give the students practical experience.

This course is for anyone responsible for implementing and managing virtualization features on a System p server including:

AIX technical support individuals
System administrators
Systems engineers
System Architects

Students should complete:

Power Systems for AIX I: LPAR Planning and Configuration (AN11) or (AX11) or
Power Systems for AIX - Virtualization I: Implementing Virtualization (AN30) or (AX30)

or have equivalent LPAR skills

Describe the effect of the POWER6 virtualization features on performance and monitoring, such as: Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT), Micro-Partitioning, Multiple Shared Processor Pools (MSPP), shared dedicated capacity, Active Memory Sharing (AMS) and other virtualization features
Interpret the outputs of AIX 6.1performance monitoring and tuning tools used to view the impact of SMT, Micro-Partitioning, additional shared processor pool activations and device virtualization. The tools include: vmstat, iostat, sar, topas, trace, curt, mpstat, lparstat, smtctl
List various sources of information and support related to AIX 6.1 performance tools, system sizing, system tuning, and AIX 6.1 enhancements and new features
Perform a Live Partition Mobility between two different POWER6 servers
Describe the New features available with the Virtual I/O Server version 2.1 and version 2.2 such as: N_port ID Virtualization, Heterogeous Multi-threading, Virtual Tape devices, Active Memory sharing
Describe and implement the Active Memory Sharing feature

IBM PowerVM II: Advanced Management and Performance Training Course in New Zealand

New Zealand is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean and it consists of two main islands and 700 smaller islands. Two main islands are the North Island and the South Island. The capital city of New Zealand is Wellington and the most popular city of the island country is Auckland. English, Māori and New Zealand Sign Language are the official languages of New Zealand. As of January 2022, the population of the country is about 5,138,120. 70% of the population are of European descent, 16.5% are indigenous Māori, 15.1% Asian and 8.1% non-Māori Pacific Islanders.

Since most of the country lies close to the coast, mild temperatures are observed year-round. January and February are the warmest months while July is the coldest month of the year. Fiordland, the first national park of New Zealand Tongariro
