Performance tuning

[Maarten van Maanen]

We are using a HP9000 K370 with 1.2Gb of Memory, HP-UX 11.00, an AutoRAID 12H with six 18.2Gb HDD's and Oracle 8.0.5. I want to do some performance measurements but am looking for a benchmark tool of some kind. Are there any available (for free) or maybe some scripts you can run to measure system performance so I can get a baseline of some kind ?

HP performance and tuning book ( avaliable online or B&Noble) will be a very good tool to help in diagnosing your performance metrics.

Perfview or maybe an HP perf collection for the past 2 weeks will help. If you have a support contract, you can contact you you support advocate and he can gather perf info and create charts. To do it yourself, you can use perfview which you have to buy...if ya don't already have.

scripts written utilizing sar, vmstat, iostat, and the like can help collect data to be utilized.

extract ( man extract can be used to gather data and download to excel to be graphed.

Hope this is helpful
