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 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
