Course Description

Develop the skills to use kernel traces, trace based utilities, and svmon to measure and analyze CPU, memory, and I/O performance issues on IBM systems running AIX. Reinforce each lecture during extensive hands-on lab exercises and get practical experience applicable to their performance management requirements.

Objectives

Use the trace facility to collect data and create a trace report
Use the kernel trace facilities to analyze CPU performance issues
Describe causes and impacts of high context switching rates
Identify what causes a thread to be blocked and later woken up
Explain the relationship between the output of svmon -G, svmon -P, and svmon -S
Calculate the amount of memory in use on the system
Explain the relationship between svmon, vmstat, and ipcs output
Categorize the memory in use on the system by segment type
Identify which processes are using the most memory or paging space
Describe the characteristics of asynchronous I/O, synchronous I/O, direct I/O, and concurrent I/O
Identify if the expected type of I/O is being executed
Tune asynchronous I/O

Audience
