Perfpmr for AIX Performance Issue

1. Download PERFPMR from  ibm site <Binary Format>

 

2.  Upload the perfpmr to  server in /tmp.

3.  Create Directory   in /tmp. eg : perf71. untar the perfpmr.

      # cd /tmp

   # uncompress  perf71.tar.Z

   # cd  perf71 ; tar -xvf  /tmp/perf71.tar

   # cd /tmp/perf71 ; ls -ltr

      (or)

   # mkdir /tmp/perf71

   # cd /tmp/perf71

   # zcat /tmp/perf71.tar.Z | tar -xvf -

4. Create  another directory in /tmp to collect  perfpmr logs.  Eg:   perfpmrdata

   # mkdir /tmp/perfdata

   # cd /tmp/perfdata

5.  Execute perfpmr.sh   from  perfdata directory. Default it would be running for 600 Seconds (i.e, 10 Mins)

For Completing of below command it would take  18 to 20 Mins in real world.

     

     # cd /tmp/perfdata

     # /tmp/perf71/perfpmr.sh (or) # /tmp/perf71/perfpmr.sh 600

6. Send   perfpmr  logs collected in  /tmp/perfdata to IBM for analysis.

      # cd /tmp/perfdata   

      # cd ..

      # pax -xpax -vw perfdata | gzip -c > pmr#.pax.gz

 More Details can be  found in /tmp/perf71/README  file.
