Capacity Planning for an LPARed Environment on System i

Speaker(s):
Gottfried Schimunek IBM Corporation


Capacity planning was never an easy task, but having multiple operating systems running in multiple separate partitions creates even a bigger challenge to collect all necessary performance data needed for estimating performance characteristics and applying different algorithms for different operating systems goes beyond the usual "thumbs in the air" or "adding various CPW ratings" with pen and pencils approach. This presentation will cover important aspects of sharing resources and defining
upper and lower limits to avoid performance impacts across partitions and still optimizing for best performance. We will discuss a methodology to measure performance across partitions and consolidating estimates while recognizing workload peaks and time zones.
