IBM AIX I/O Performance Tuning

tuning kernel parameters

Can only root do this, or can other users too? if other users can, do they have to be given permission, and if so, is there a file or something that stores this? Thanks.

Disk tuning parameters

I swapped out 2 72 gb disk drives for 2 146 gb drives, both of which spin at 15k. Are there any I/O parameters I should modify or can modify to get the most out of the new disks? Thanks, Mike M.

eshconfig

ESHCONFIG(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					      ESHCONFIG(8)

NAME

     eshconfig -- configure Essential Communications' HIPPI network interface

SYNOPSIS

     eshconfig [-estx] [-b bytes] [-c bytes] [-d filename] [-i usecs] [-m bytes] [-r bytes] [-u filename] [-w bytes] [interface]

DESCRIPTION

     eshconfig is used to configure device-specific parameters and download new firmware to the Essential Communications RoadRunner-based HIPPI
     network interface.  The interface is very sensitive to the DMA performance characteristics of the host, and so requires careful tuning to
     achieve reasonable performance.  In addition, firmware is likely to change frequently, which necessitates a reasonably easy way to update
     that firmware.

     Available operands for eshconfig:

     -b bytes
	     Adjust the burst size for read (by NIC of host memory) DMA.

     -c bytes
	     Adjust the burst size for write (by NIC of host memory) DMA.

     -d filename
	     Filename for file to download into NIC firmware.  This must be a file in the standard Essential format, with :04 preceding every
	     line, and a tag line at the end indicating the characteristics of the firmware file.

     -e      Write data to EEPROM.  Normally, setting tuning parameters will only persist until the system is rebooted.  Setting this parameter
	     ensures that the changes will be written to EEPROM.

     -i usecs
	     Interrupt delay in microseconds.

     -m bytes
	     Minimum number of bytes to DMA in one direction (read or write) before allowing a DMA in the other direction.  Tuning this prevents
	     one direction from dominating the flow of bytes, and artificially throttling the NIC.

     -r bytes
	     Bytes before DMA starts for read (from host to NIC).  This controls how soon the DMA is triggered;  until this many bytes are
	     requested, the DMA will not begin.

     -s      Show statistics for the HIPPI NIC.  Repeat the option to suppress non-zero statistics.

     -t      Show current tuning parameters on the host.

     -u filename
	     Name of file to which the NIC firmware should be uploaded.  Not currently supported.

     -w bytes
	     Number of bytes required before write (from NIC to host) DMA is started.  Until this many bytes are ready to be written, the DMA will
	     not start.

     -x      Reset the NIC.  This is necessary for the HIPPI-FP support, as ifconfig(8) will no longer physically reset the NIC when the inter-
	     faces goes up and down.

     Only the super-user may modify the configuration of a network interface.

DIAGNOSTICS

     Messages indicating the specified interface does not exist or the user is not privileged and tried to alter an interface's configuration.
