Re: Domino Utilities and Server Performance Issues

[MSteck@xxxxxxxxx]

   You stated "When he did some further digging he noticed that ALL of the
   data for all 10 server instances on our LPAR were all on 6 of the 22 disks
   that we have."

   As your iSeries person will say, this is when you are not "balancing your
   ASP" data.  The balancing is usually set when you are adding drives?

   Slowness of response can be attributed to faults and thus disk utilzation?

   I assume your iSeries Admin noticed high Disk utilization for the 6 drives
   in question as well?

   More importantly, has the balancing resolved your issue, if not, not
   knowing your system parms, 10 instances on 1 LPAR seems abit heavy
   depending on many factors.

   Have you added users or activated scheduled agents or increased
   replication from a new app in last couple of weeks perhaps.  Disk
   utilizaton is not a exact science, sometime you reach a breaking point on
   performance that just appears. 2nd, are any of the other LPARS sharing
   disks?  Or are you sharing bus'es of drives?  Many questions ???

   thx
