Implementing GPA Tuning Recommendations
Implementing GPA Tuning Recommendations
On the basis of its analysis, GPA makes the following kinds of explicit tuning
recommendations:
•
Moving primary disk processes to correct a load imbalance on the node.
•
Resetting disk cache allocations to improve cache hit performance and/or reduce
disk queuing.
•
Moving processes among CPUs to relieve a detected memory shortage problem or to
correct a processor utilization imbalance.
•
Reconfiguring the number of disk subprocesses associated with a logical volume.
Note that in making each tuning recommendation for a given run, GPA takes into
account the effect on the system of all previous tuning recommendations for that run. In
this way, GPA is able to issue multiple tuning recommendations in a single analysis.
You can implement the GPA recommendations for moving primary disk processes and
resetting cache allocations simply by running PUP or SCF using the PUPIN or SCFIN
file as input. Note that you must be a super group user to do this. PUPIN contains the
PUP PRIMARY and PUP SETCACHE commands required to perform the
