AIX Performance Monitoring: At-a-Glance Physical Server Dashboard GUI

With its intuitive Web-based interface, Galileo PE allows you to access your performance data from anywhere in the world. Customize your date ranges, select by LPAR or Physical-Server (AIX^® Module), and get online help quickly and easily. You can also customize your own personal dashboard, grouping the charts that are most important to you.
Illustrated is a p6-570 with 23 LPARs showing their aggregated usage of CPU, Memory and Disk throughput. More detail is available by clicking the categories (e.g. CPU, Tape).

AIX Performance Monitoring: Servers Physical CPU Utilization

In this example, a user can examine the aggregate physical CPU utilization for the entire Server, which will help to quickly identify an under- or over-utilized server.

All thumbnail charts can be expanded to give you more detail about system performance. Charts can be customized using a wide-range of tools available in the expanded view.

AIX Performance Monitoring: Servers Real Memory Used

In this example, a user can examine the aggregate physical Memory usage of the entire Server. The chart is stacked to show the total memory in use at any given time.

AIX Performance Monitoring: LPARs CPU Utilization

In this chart, each LPARs CPU utilization is plotted to illustrate CPU usage in terms of a percentage. This view helps to quickly identify LPARs that are heavy consumers of the Virtual/Logical CPUs they have defined.

AIX Performance Monitoring: LPAR CPU Usage vs. Entitlement

A quick check of the LPAR CPU Usage vs. Entitlement chart will show the physical CPUs in use by the LPAR, and how it compares to the virtuals assigned and set entitlement. Note how changes made to the LPAR over time have been tracked by Galileo. (e.g. Power-5 to Power-6)

AIX Performance Monitoring: LPARs Disk Service Times

In this chart, the Service Time for each hdisk (and OEM disk names) is plotted in a "Line-Unstacked" view to quickly identify disks with poor service times or a group of disks with the same data spread that would reflect the same service times if tuned properly.
