Multiple instances on iSeries

Hi Franco,

you are having a slightly high CPU time and a catastrophal DB-time.

I guess, your disks are overloaded.
Please have a look to ST06->Detail analysis menu and then
Snapshot Analysis DISK and Previous hours DISK

There you should have a look to the Utilization and a bit more careful on
the Serv-time. I'm not sure if the last one is correct in the "previous
hours" as well. You should have times of 5 up to maximum 10ms there -
especially in ASP 2.

Then you might want to have a look to ST03 and there to the "Time Profile".
Have does the Response-time, CPU-Time and the DB-Time changes over the day,
espcially in hours with low load ?

Regards

Volker

Subject: RE: Multiple instances on iSeries


Many thanks to all the folks who gave us their advices. We won't go on
installing multiple instances as our system is not a multi tier on and
never it will be.
We already did a tune up after our upgrade enlarging varios parameters and
buffers, but our performances are less than expected.
Our productive instance is running on an lpar of our iSeries 830, 6,5
processors (1,5 reserved for another lpar where dev and test instances
live) using about 8Gigs ram and about 350 Gigs database (on the IBM Ess).
As an example this is the workload registered yesterday, from ST03

Yesterday I enlarged the number of work processes because they often were
all busy. Unfortunatelly we also have a large number of "Z" programs using
too much the dialog processes I could see this in the transaction profile
of the workload analysis. With slight modifies many of them could rnu in
the background.
Unfortunatelly our PTF status is still at CUM1302510 and DB fix pack #5
(as described in APAR# II12833 02/06/02) and the kernel patch is 922. The
reason of the delay in mantaining the ptf & patches was due to system
availability reasons. A consultant of ours suggested to update the system
to the latest II12833 and to apply kernel patch 1124, because of our
performance issue

I know that non-optimized programs are an handicap for our system,
nevertheless do you think I'll see a prerformance improvements installing
the latest APAR + the latest kernel patch ?
Another question: our ESS shark uses raid-5 for the disk, so our ASP2
virtually is a raid-5, instead of a mirror: does this impact on the
performances too ?

Thanks to everybody.
