RECOMMENDATIONS SECTION

All recommendations contained in this report are based solely on the conditions which were present when the performance data was collected. It is possible that conditions which were not present at that time may cause some of these recommendations to result in worse performance. To minimize this risk, analyze data from several different days, implement only regularly occurring recommendations, and implement them one at a time.

Additional memory may improve performance. If possible, borrow some memory for test purposes, and monitor system performance and resource utilization before and after its installation.

Change 'bufpages' from 0 to 3276. SarCheck has determined that this value should result in a more efficient use of the system's memory.

No disk recommendations have been made because no bottleneck was seen.

It may be possible to reduce memory utilization by reducing the parameter 'maxdsiz'. This parameter defines the maximum data segment size, and a smaller value will prevent users from taking up as much memory. The optimum value of this parameter is application dependent and experimentation is required.

Use the System Administration Manager (SAM) to change the values of tunable parameters. More information on the SAM utility and relinking the kernel is available in the System Administration Tasks manual.
