Performance tuning commands
AIX supports several commands that allow you to change one or more performance-related aspects of the system.
- Command
- Function
- bindprocessor
- Binds or unbinds the kernel threads of a process to a processor
- caccelstat
- Reports statistics that are related to coherent accelerators for the entire system, or for each accelerator and process.
- chdev
- Changes the characteristics of a device
- chlv
- Changes only the characteristics of a logical volume
- chps
- Changes attributes of a paging space
- fdpr
- A performance tuning utility for improving execution time and real memory utilization of user-level application programs
- ifconfig
- Configures or displays network interface parameters for a network using TCP/IP
- ioo
- Sets I/O related tuning parameters (along with vmo, replaces vmtune command.
- migratepv
- Moves allocated physical partitions from one physical volume to one or more other physical volumes
- mkps

- nfso
- Configures Network File System (NFS) network variables
- nice

- no
- Configures network attributes
- renice

- tuncheck
- Validates a stanza file with tuning parameter values.
- tundefault

- tunsave
- Saves all tuning parameter values in a stanza file.
- vmo
- Sets VMM related tuning parameters (along with ioo, replaces vmtune command.
