Students in this course will learn how to implement advanced PowerVM features, such as Active Memory Sharing, Active Memory Expansion, shared dedicated processors, multiple shared processor pools, N_Port Virtualization, and Remote Live Partition Mobility.
Additionally, students will learn skills to implement, measure, analyze, and tune PowerVM virtualization features for optimal performance on IBM System p servers. This course focuses on the features that relate to the performance of POWER6 and POWER7 processors, AIX 6.1, and the special monitoring, configuring, and tuning needs of logical partitions (LPARs). This course does not cover application monitoring and tuning.
Students will also learn AIX 6.1 performance analysis and tuning tools that help an administrator take advantage of the Micro-Partitioning and other virtualization features of the System p servers.
Hands-on lab exercises reinforce each lecture and give the students practical experience.
