HP-UX 11i Tuning and Performance

Chapter 3. A Performance Management Methodology

Although performance management and crisis management (including performance problem resolution) require different techniques and data collection, the same basic methodology can be used for both. Performance management uses the following steps:

• Assessment

• Measurement

• Interpretation and Analysis

• Identification of Bottlenecks

• Tuning or Upgrading the System

The flow chart in Figure 3-1 summarizes the performance methodology that will be discussed in detail, step by step.
