<p>IBM<sup>®</sup> Performance
|

|
|
Management for eServer™ <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> (PM <span class="keyword">iSeries</span>)
|
||
|
|
is automated and self-managing, which allows for easy use. PM <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> automatically
|
||
|
|
triggers Collection Services to gather the nonproprietary performance and
|
||
|
|
capacity data from your server and then sends the data to IBM. All collection
|
||
|
|
sites are network secure, and the time of the transfer is completely under
|
||
|
|
your control. When you send your data to IBM, you eliminate the need to store all
|
||
|
|
the trending data yourself. IBM stores the data for you and provides you with a series
|
||
|
|
of reports and graphs that show your server's growth and performance. You
|
||
|
|
can access your reports electronically using a traditional browser. </p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p"><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />The PM reports provide the information that:<ul><li>Allow you to plan for and manage system resources.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Help analyze key performance indicators.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Help in determining when peak workload volumes are occurring and provide
|
||
|
|
you with the data needed to adjust the job scheduling accordingly.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Assist you with balancing the workload across logical partitions (LPARs).</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Can be tailored to allow you to do problem analysis on an individual day.</li>

<p>The IBM Operational
|
||
|
|
Support Services for PM <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> offering
|
||
|
|
includes a set of reports, graphs, and profiles that help you maximize current
|
||
|
|
application and hardware performance (by using performance trend analysis). </p>
|
||
|
|
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />This offering, when used with Workload Estimator (WLE),
|
||
|
|
allows you to better understand how your business trends relate to the timing
|
||
|
|
of required hardware upgrades, such as central processing unit (CPU) or disk. WLE
|
||
|
|
can size a systems consolidation or evaluate the upgrading of an LPARed system,
|
||
|
|
by having PM <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> send
|
||
|
|
the historical data for multiple systems or LPARs to WLE<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>PM <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> uses less than
|
||
|
|
1 percent of your CPU). It uses approximately 58 MB of disk space, which depends
|
||
|
|
on your hardware model and the size of your collection intervals.</p>

|
The <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> server
|
||
|
|
can be configured to send Collection Services data directly to IBM with PM <span class="keyword">iSeries</span>. IBM then generates several reports that
|
||
|
|
you can either view on the Web or have sent directly to you. Activating PM <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> to automatically generate your

|
|
reports not only saves you time and resources, but also allows you to plan
|
||
|
|
ahead by forecasting your future growth needs.</li>
