Solaris Operating System (OS): Performance Management

Product Description

The Solaris System Performance Management course introduces students to performance tuning principles, monitoring utilities & tuning tools for the Solaris Operating System (Solaris OS). The presentation

Includes:: a review of Solaris subsystems & the utilities provided to monitor system efficiency including vmstat, iostat, netstat, mpstat, nfsstat & sar. This revision also presents tools new to Solaris 10, including DTrace, alongside these well known utilities.

The course format isolates each major system component that affects the system performance data. Case studies are used to illustrate how performance bottlenecks can be isolated, confirmed through analysis, and resolved through making adjustments to the system configuration. The Central Processing Units (CPUs), memory, & input/output (I/O) systems are reviewed to clarify standard techniques for monitoring each one. Monitoring & tuning virtual memory operations, UFS & ZFS file systems, & network efficiency are discussed as well.

The course concludes with a more general examination of the full cycle of identifying & resolving performance impediments. The Solaris System Performance Management course

Includes:: lab exercises to reinforce skills development.
