RE: Hosted LPAR performance

Oh yeah, that thing. That thing that never works. I think it only ever works on the biggest machines. It has never worked for me - old box or new.

Thanks
Bob

Hi Bob

If the admin server is running you should be able to access it at your servers ip address on port 2001.
It's an LPAR level thing, not a platform level tool so there's no reason why you wouldn't have access to it.

Don't think I have access to that - just basic access to our LPAR.

Thanks

If you have access to the admin server then running the CPU Waits
Analysis chart might give you some insight as to whether the CPU is an issue.
There are good disk analysis reports/charts in thee as well.
Based on your feedback regarding WRKDSKSTS I'd be looking at the CPU
waits next.

Pretty sure we are capped, but I will double check with the hoster.

ok, FTP sounds reasonable. So when the disks usually stay at 0% then
there might be VIOS and/or SAN involved which can create weird results.
Have them report about the disk setup and check parallel usage of
other clients.
If your CPU usage stays <20% then that is not the issue. Do you know
if your LPAR CPU is capped or not?

The hoster already asked me to run the WRKDSKSTS and I ran it last

Friday for over 3 hours during our busy time of the day for the system.
The % Busy stayed at 0% the whole time.

The FTP transfers were acceptable. I had one file that was 29GB
that

did take several hours to transfer from the on-premises box to the
new LPAR over VPN.
