CPU usage and sizinging

I have a question to the group that I hope I can get some answer or pointed to some doc's on. I have to justify buying an AIX 550 over a AIX 520. My argument is, that our Database backups and expire inventories are running longer than they should on our 1 G two cpu 520 running 5.3 AIX. The expire

I suppose you could answer that question by monitoring CPU utilization ( or paging) during the expire / reclamation cycle. Try the free demo of something like application manager 6 and monitor it for several days and see if there is a spike during those times. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/27/2005

I also use topas, but our cpu's run at 60 to 70 % at Expire inventory and DB backup. So even though it shows we have CPU left would 4 cpu's divide it out and make these processes run in a more acceptable time. From 6 or 8 hours for 90 items to say 2 or 3 hours. Nothing else is running for 2

I suspect your problem is more of a disk porblem. Whether actual disks you are using or the arrangement. Expire inventory is faster the faster you get your disks and also check q db f=d and see if cache Hit Pct is around 99%. If it is lower, then increase the size of Buffer Pool to get cache hit

I assume you are not running db backups concurrently with expires. expires would be changing the database and the two processes would be hampering each other, especially since expiration will spawn reclamations. peaks of 60 to 70%, while high, do not suggests you are maxed out there. have you
