Where to start
This information helps you to optimize the performance of IBM Storage Protect servers and clients, and identify and solve performance problems.
Where you start in this information depends on what
your goal is:
- If you are installing or upgrading a new server and clients, start with Configuration best practices.
- If you need to investigate performance degradation, start with Solving performance problems.
Before using this information, ensure that you are
familiar with your IBM
Storage Protect solution:
- How the IBM Storage Protect servers and clients are used and monitored
- The operating systems on which your IBM Storage Protect servers and clients run
- The networks that are in use for IBM Storage Protect server and client operations
- The storage devices that are used for IBM Storage Protect operations
Standard subscription and support services from IBM do not include extensive performance analysis and tuning. The comprehensive analysis of a performance problem is a billable service that is offered to IBM Storage Protect customers.
