How to tune the kernel Configurable Parameters for sybase 11?

[MA Qiang]

The clients complain that they retrieve data from SYBASE very slowly. What can I do to find the key to solve the problem?

Thanks.

[T G Manikandan]

First check

1.your memory and CPU usage on the server

2.The i/o for the operations on the server.

If these things are fine then you can move down to the sybase level

then check

The amount of pool size available for the operations,temporary segment sizes,etc


This is where you can start with...
revert back on the findings so that we can find the cause for the performance problems..

I find the io, memery and CPU usage are normal. More infomation shoud I offer, what and how to get?
Thank you!

Wanted to add these points,


The CPU system usage time (sys%) is more.Not sure as whether any backup or any kind of a process was running when you captured the output.
Make sure that the system processes are not carrying away the system.

Meanwhile,I dont see any application activity on the system.
What actions by the user claim the system to be slow!

Also,
I would not like to see a avwait being more than the avserv time.

The wait time should be very less than the service time.

Also,your shared memory usage is very high on the system.

you have defined a SHMMAX of 1gb on your kernel.

you should be able to increase this further up to 2GB.

[MA Qiang]

The shmmax is 4gb:
# kmtune|grep -i shmmax
shmmax 4096000000 Y 4096000000

There are some error log of SYBASE:

Just browsed thru sybase for the error information

http://manuals.sybase.com/onlinebooks/group-as/asg1250e/svrtsg/@Generic__BookTextView/26529

[MA Qiang]

Which system parameter corresponds to the maximum number of file descriptors that the operating system allows for server's engine processes?
