AIX performance

I have 2 AIX servers on one AIX server I have 8 Proc/32GB of memory and on other I have 8Proc/16GB of memory. The one with a lower configuration of memory run less processes but is very busy all the time and the performance is degrading. Nothing else runs on this serves except one application.

Is it that I cannot compare as the hardware configurations are little different...?? What else can be explained about it..??

Also I have upgraded TL on the server with lower memory hoping it would increase the performance but nothing changed.

Hi,

what do you get with topas?

Look at MEMORY - something beneath PgspIn / PgspOut ?
Look at PAGING SPACE -  % Free ?

Hit "P" and look at the process list.  High CPU usage somewhere? In the same list, place the cursor under "PAGE SPACE". Who's on top? How much page space is it?

ASKER

The size of the paging space is 24576MB and %free is 91% and when I press "P" the paging space for max CPU process is 14701MB
Does TL upgrade improve the performance..??
