Complete this task to create a performance analysis report
on your ProtecTIER system for use by IBM Service.
About this task
Create a performance analysis report for the nodes in
your system when you want to analyze your system statistics.
Procedure
- If you are using a single node configuration,
connect a USB keyboard and graphics-capable monitor to the server.
- If you using in a clustered configuration, verify that
both Server A and Server B are running:
- Yes, continue to step 3
- No, power on any servers that are not running, wait
for the boot cycle to complete, and then continue to step 3
- At the localhost Login prompt,
type: ptconfig and press <enter>.
- At the Password prompt, type: ptconfig and
press <enter>

Please provide the following information: ('q' to quit)
1) Date interval.
2) Specific number of days from current date backwards.
Choose:
- Enter the date to filter the report data in one of the
following ways:
- Provide date interval on the next format [YYYYMMDDHHMMSS].
- Provide specific number of days to analyze, for example: 20D
(20 days), 1W (one week), 1M (one month).
- In case of running on a cluster system the script will
prompt to ask if a performance analysis of the other node is needed.
Select Yes or No and
press <enter>. If running
on a single node the script will start.
- The performance analysis is generated according to the
dates provided. The following example output is
displayed:
Choose: 2
Period of time to analyze (Example: 20D, 2W, 1M, 1Y) : 20D
Do you want to performa a cluster analysis? (yes|no) yes

Results
HTML files are created presenting the analysis report.
The tar file generated needs to be extracted from ProtecTIER and opened
on a host machine. After the file is uncompressed the directory will
have the next files:
