TSM Storage agent performance

Guys,

I have TSM Lanfree on a 5220, Being an AIX Admin I'm looking for help on Solaris.

Detailed Monitoring provided by Teamquest.

The problem is that although the 'root' owned 'dsmsta quiet' process is apparently using 27 software threads they never add up to more than 1/64th of the available CPU capability (apparently 1 hardware thread). Clearly limited like that the Sytorage agent is not going to be an effective datamover process. I cannot find anything in TSM to influence this. So is there something I need to get set or changed in the OS settings to free me of this limitation.

THanks guys.

You can reach me at the_sunburned_guy@a_nice_beach_in_Hawaii.surfin {I wish}

Performance metrics between Dual Storage IOA versus other drive configurations

Greetings! We ordered a bunch of P7s as part of a hardware upgrade and I was made aware of the Dual Storage IOA configuration.

NAME

       pmdapostfix - Postfix performance metrics domain agent (PMDA)

DESCRIPTION

       pmdapostfix is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports mail queue sizes as reported by qshape(1), as well as aggregate
       statistics collected from mail.log.

INSTALLATION

       If you want access to the names and values for the Postfix performance metrics, do the following as root:

	   # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/postfix
	   # ./Install

       If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:

	   # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/postfix
	   # ./Remove

       pmdapostfix is launched by pmcd(1) and should never be executed directly.  The Install and Remove scripts notify pmcd(1) when the agent is
       installed or removed.

	   installation script for the pmdapostfix agent
