Re: Hosted LPAR performance

Yea, with only 500GB of storage did the vendor stick you with one or maybe
two DASD devices instead of the required 6 units to ensure 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.
