Overview

Maximize the performance and value of any HP-UX 11i system

HP-UX 11i Tuning and Performance takes the guesswork out of maximizing HP-UX 11i performance—so you can quickly maximize the value of any HP-UX system in any environment. Leading HP experts introduce a comprehensive, systematic performance management methodology that addresses every stage in the lifecycle of an HP-UX system.

You’ll find specific metrics, symptoms and solutions for every key element of an HP-UX 11i system, including hardware, the OS platform, and application development. From start to finish, the emphasis is on practical results—and on understanding the real-world cost/benefit tradeoffs that are central to every tuning project. Coverage includes:

  • A comprehensive optimization methodology, direct from HP’s performance labs

  • New optimization opportunities and techniques made possible by HP-UX 11i

  • All-new chapters on network performance and Java performance

  • Rules of thumb for more cost-effective performance management

  • Instrumenting HP-UX 11i systems to accurately reflect reality

  • Choosing the right performance metrics, and using them correctly

  • Key performance tradeoffs in both uniprocessor and SMP environments

  • Practical techniques for resolving CPU, memory, and disk bottlenecks

  • How to make the most of HP-UX specific and generic UNIX performance tools

  • Performance enhancements available through compiler optimization and application profiling

  • Extensive examples from actual HP performance consulting assignments

  • Whether you’re an HP-UX 11i sysadmin, netadmin, developer, capacity planner, or performance specialist, this is your complete guide to getting all the performance you paid for!
