I would suggest that you take a look at the suite of VM (and Linux!)
performance products offered by Velocity Software
(http://www.velocitysoftware.com/). I can recommends them highly.
While GDDM can produce nice looking plots of performance data, a problem
with it is that it is not licensed for IFL engines, to the best of my
knowledge. A special bid from your local IBM business partner would be
required....

We also run OMEGAMON to extract performance data (another Group).
I do have acces to that, however we (the VM Systems Programmers)
want to have a separate means of performance reporting (both for
comparison and arguement). I have little experience using
Performance Toolkit, thus my question. PTK does seem to provide
some value in their predefined and custom reports, but has it limitations -
which we are discovering. Sounds like further investigation (of other
prodcuts is in order. As for GDDM, we don't run that product on our
IFLs, only on our Agency LPARs. We currently run 4 Agency (full) LPARs and
4 IFLs (LINUX).
