Page Faults - Anyway to reduce SAP Storage to Reduce Page Faults


Hi all,

in the recent days we had a similiar problem on our iSeries 830 with two
lpar, V5R1M0 and R/3 4.0B, the storage is driven by an IBM ESS Shark.
Before partitioning we had two instances on the same 830 w/o lpar (Prod. +
Test), the machine itself was connected via SCSI to the Shark and the
performances seemed to be good.
Now we have two lpar's on our iSeries:

1. Productive lpar, 6 processors + 9Gbytes memory, fiber channel connection
to the ESS, machine memory pools as follow:
450,00 335,56 +++++ *MACHINE
8337,25 47,19 150 *BASE
0,25 0,00 1 *SPOOL
50,00 0,00 20 *INTERACT

2. Test lpar, 2 processors + 3Gbytes memory, scsi connection to the ESS,
machine memory pools as follow:
264,77 169,44 +++++ *MACHINE
2581,08 0,32 70 *BASE
0,34 0,00 2 *SPOOL
149,79 0,00 20 *INTERACT

SAP performances are unbelievable bad on our productive lpar, lots of DB
page faults with peaks of 2000 and more per seconds.
Maybe we have oversized any of the buffer, paging or EM ?
Any hints ? I can send the ST02 screenshot, if you want.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

the amount of memory depends on the usage of the DB-server. Do you run
workload on the DB-server or don't you run workload at all there ?
Normally a bit oversized buffers or EM don't increase the page-faults as
this is then not used as well and paged out.

Could you send over a screenshot of ST02 on the DB-server after a few days
running ?

Regards

Volker
