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.
Thanks
Bob

Subject: Re: Hosted LPAR performance
Hi Bob,
as a hoster which also provides shared machines, we know these questions. Depending on the hoster you are working with, there is a lot of parameters to check out
- CPU should be faster - yes (you might have 0.1CPU of a Power8
- Network usually is no issue
- what about disk performance? Depending on the disk setup they use, other LPARs might draw too much disk performance
Run a WRKDSKSTS whilst running some programs and check out the last column which will tell about latency and waits. I assume this might be some issue.
When you did your FTP, can you remember if it was fast or not?

Any suggestions of what to look at? It just seems to me that this new machine should be at least somewhat noticeably quicker - but it's not.
