Example and Tips
Performance scenario
You manage a HP Virtual Machine server running four guest
OSes. You have Glance and the Performance Agent (PA)
installed on the server and the guests as well.

the Disk List, look for the busiest disks (over 50%
busy utilization). In xglance, choose metrics to add
the newer Service Time metrics. Consider
changing configuration to offload hot devices.
New for HP-UX 11.31 Glance: Investigate I/O by
HBA (I/O Channel).
Sort processes in Glance by Physical I/O rate to
see top consumers. Drill down into their Open Files
and see what System Calls are most active.
Consider application tuning methods.
