    • 21 April 2021
    • Speaker: Dawn May, IBM i Consultant, and Technical Expert
    • Business-critical applications must be up and running reliably without failure. When something unexpected occurs, you must identify the cause and correct it quickly. We all want to find ways to make our jobs easier, and unexpected surprises are not fun. The relentless push to do "more with less" is going to intensify while the tolerance for failure keeps dropping.  Yet identifying points of failure can be tricky as complexities scale.
      IBM i offers a free product that helps ascertain application and infrastructure health. The IBM Administration Runtime Expert for i (ARE) can be used to define attributes of a healthy environment and use those defined attributes to validate that the environment is as expected.  
      This session covers everything you need to know about ARE, including examples such as:
      • Identify what changed to cause an unexpected application failure
      • Validate multiple partitions are consistent in their configurations
      • Verify user profiles are consistent across all partitions
      • Check that PTF levels are the same across all partitions for a particular release
      • Create custom plug-ins to extend the base ARE functionality
      • Ensure a test environment has the same installed software and application attributes when debugging production issues

    • External storage is a strategic platform for IBM i installations. Performance of Storage systems with IBM i, highly influence IBM i transaction performance, as well as durations of batch jobs. Therefore, it is essential to size the configuration of the external storage for good performance, and to model the response times of I/O operations in advance.
      In this session, we provide an insight in IBM i I/O management, and we discuss sizing guidelines for different Storage systems with IBM i workloads to provide good response times. We describe how to collect IBM i data for sizing and modelling, we pay attention to capturing the right peaks in IBM i I/O rate. We provide information and demonstration on modelling performance of external storage systems with IBM i, by using the tool Disk Magic.

    • Speaker: Andy Thomas, Consulting IT Specialist, Power Systems & AIX UK
    • Andy demonstrates the major components of IBM Tivoli Monitoring (ITM) for Power Systems AIX and VIO. Examining the default agent workspaces for the HMC, CEC, VIO, AIX and Unix Logs. Together they provide a state of the art monitoring environment for Power Systems. ITM has hundreds of default situations (alerts) that can help automate the management of complex environments. ITM has Data Warehousing capabilities with automated pruning and summarization. The historical data can be used by the out-of-the-box reporting tools in ITM to provide further insights into operation and energy consumption of the Power Systems data centre.

    • 31 July 2013
    • Speaker: Nigel Griffiths - Advanced Technology Support (ATS), IBM Power Systems, Europe (plus Jyoti Dodhia on Performance Data Investigator for IBM i).
    • Nigel takes you through many tools that give you the machine view (not just one LPAR/Virtual Machine). We are finding whole machine monitoring is getting increasingly important. Some tools are from IBM at a cost, and many are free or open source. Nigel plans to demonstrate some of these features live. We expect you to vote quickly to get feedback on the tools you use. Jyoti covers a brief summary of Performance Data Investigator for IBM i.

    • 19 June 2013
    • Speaker: Nigel Griffiths - Advanced Technology Support (ATS), IBM Power Systems, Europe.
    • Nigel takes you through the newest features on this new way with virtual disks. Once the low number of LUN disks are in the pool, the PowerVM guys can allocate the disk without talking to the SAN team. Hurray! Then, it is all ready for Live Partition Mobility. Plus you can assimilate LPARs (that use local disk or VIOS disk) in to your SSP and then use LPM. What about recovering your failed machine SSP LPARs in seconds and restarting them? Nigel plans to demonstrate some of these features live. 90 min session.

                                      Session 7 - IBM i settings related to 10Gbit Ethernet performance
                                      Session 7 (Virtualization and the world of 10Gbit Ethernet) included some suggestions to help improve performance and get better throughput. Some details were included on how to change some settings in the operating system.
                                      AIX examples were included in the presentation slides.
                                      Here is some information about the equivalent settings in IBM i:
                                      Turn on Flow Control (slide 13):
                                      Ethernet adapter flow control is not supported on IBM i, so it would always be off.
                                      Turn on the network option largesend (and large_receive) (slide 17):
                                      TCP large send offload - on by default when the adapter supports it.
                                      Increase MTU to 64K (slide 18):
                                      The maximum MTU IBM i can support on virtual Ethernet (and normal Ethernet) is 9000 (bytes). Enable this by setting the MAXFRAME on the line description to 8996 (and ETHSTD to *ETHV2 otherwise you get 8992 for the MTU). Set the interface MTU (on xxxTCPIFC) to *LIND. The interface MTU is always limited by the line's MAXFRAME, so setting it higher would not have any effect.
                                      Enable the rfc1323 Option (slide 21):
                                      This setting defaults to enabled and there are no options to disable it.
