January 07, 2009 - Part 1: Processor Utilization explains different concepts associated with active processor resource allocation for LPARs, sheds light on the complications that result from the abundance of available configuration possibilities and thus demonstrates the strategic need for thorough performance management.
Most tools on the market today are not designed to address the complexity of IBM virtual environments; they use too few metrics, do so in units of time too large for accurate measurement and do not offer an in-depth view from within the partitions. The Sysload white paper points out that performance data gathered directly from the partitions offers the greatest value in measuring actual physical server performance.
“This white paper is an important read for anyone utilizing IBM LPAR technology,” says Yves Charles, Chief Executive Officer of Sysload Software US. “Running a virtual server requires optimal management to ensure optimal performance. Virtualization may reduce the costs of adding physical equipment, but it increases the complexity of server infrastructure and risk of saturation. The ability to accurately measure activity within the individual partitions can dramatically reduce costs while improving performance, something every system administrator knows can add value to the data center.”

Sysload will be exhibiting (booth #206) at the CMG’08 Conference December 7 - 12, at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel.
