What is IBM i Performance Tuning - II: Advanced Analysis and Capacity Tuning (OL66G) Certification Training about?

The course explains IBM i concepts, including the Technology Independent Machine Interface (TIMI), main storage pools, auxiliary storage pools, management of jobs, threads, and tasks, job run-time structure, performance monitoring, data collection, and analysis of performance data.

This course includes hands-on activities using performance data from IBM i systems to help the student appreciate the concepts discussed. This course is designed for those running Power Systems on IBM i. While it includes i 7.2 content, it is suitable for those currently using prior versions of IBM i.

The first part of this course (units 1-6) focus on teaching the performance management process, the performance considerations of key hardware components and virtualization options, and tuning options to help optimize performance. During these lectures, students should gain an appreciation of the unique storage management and work management components in the IBM i architecture and how these components need to be managed for optimal performance.

The second part of this course focuses on the tools and techniques to monitor, analyze, and plan for performance of Power Systems with IBM i and Logical partitions (LPARs).

The primary analysis tool that will be used is the Performance Data Investigator (PDI) which is included with IBM Navigator for i. PDI is also used with IBM Systems Workload Estimator (WLE) for capacity planning activities.

Reviews

My outlook on training changed completely after attending SpringPeople BPC training. The content, the trainer and infrastructure at SpringPeople were top notch and perfectly in tune with the industry requirements. Regardless to say, training is now something that I look forward to to. Kudos to everyone at SpringPeople!

I attended the 3-day AngularJs training at SpringPeople. The trainer was an industry veteran with vast experience in the subject. Notably, the hands-on training, and the Q&A session stood out. Overall, I found SpringPeople a great place to learn with excellent facilities and great trainers. Would recommend SpringPeople to my colleagues and friends.

I attended the training on API Design for Mulesoft. The sessions were well planned and value-laden. I benefited immensely from the hands-on experience enabled through virtual labs. I would like to specifically commend the efficiency of the support team who were always available to resolve my concerns.

I attended the jQuery training batch, conducted by Mr. Vijay, an SME who did a thorough coverage of all the essentials. He took us through concepts such as jQuery animations, event handlers, plugins, and jQuery-UI by small programs, very easily. The sessions were useful and well structured. By the end of the training, I was well equipped to develop a SPA on Product Management System. Overall, the learning experience at SpringPeople was great!
