Re: Power7 tuning or analyzer

I really think it still matters how your work management is set up. It just isn't true that Power7 doesn't need memory management.

OTOH, were you at 6.1 or 7.1 on the 520 LPARs? If not, there is object conversion to consider.

What is system values QCTLSBSD? If it is QSYS/QBASE, that needs to be changed, to QSYS/QCTL in order to have better control and not to have contention in *BASE - that contention can slow you down.

We have moved from a iSeries 520 to an LPar'd Power 7 E4C EPC5
It seems that this machine is slower than the machine we came from. We were using 2 - 520's (one for Test and one for Production). Now the Power7 is used for both machine or systems. Are there navigation tools that we can use to see where the hang up is? Our IT department says everything is set correctly. We have a DR machine that is replicating both of these systems all day. The memory allocation is setup differently than the 520 was and our IT department says that it does not matter on the new Power7. On the old 520 we use to have pools for a couple of batch and now we only have *Machine, *Base, *Interact and *Spool. *Machine is FIXED and the others are *CALC on both systems.

Any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.
