Monitoring OS

[neetsw]

Hi,

We need to decide if we are going to buy more cpus and ram for our IBM (AIX 5) server. Is there a performance monitoring tool we can use to get graphs of cpu, memory and disk utilization?

Thanks.

Yes,plenty

I would start with nmom:

Another basix tool is vmstat:

Try running topas from the command line. This gives you some combined performance information

MoshiachNow is Right, nmon is usefull in real-time systems performances analisys...

And Nmon Analyser is usefull to have Excel graphics to analyse performances during a time....
