Description
[edit]LPAR2RRD is a free performance monitoring and capacity planning tool for IBM Power System servers and x86 servers running VMware. It collects performance data and generates actual, historical and future trends utilization graphs of your virtual environment. It is agentless (it receives everything from the management stations like vCenter or HMC). Tool providing information such as:
- Graphing of CPU pool and LPAR utilization
- Trends, historical reports
- CPU Workload Estimator: it is able to predict CPU utilization on other HW based on rPerf benchmark
- Resource Configuration Advisor: it scans CPU/Mem/IO utilization data and advices configuration changes
- Custom Groups: grouping utilization of LPARs or CPU pools regardless where they physically run in one graph
- Alerting
OS agent for AIX, VIOS and Linux on Power
[edit]Optionally, could be set of collected data extended about data provided by the OS Agents or from NMON files.
OS Agent for IBM AIX, VIOS and Power Linux using commands iostat [1] and vmstat [2] Then you can get additional following metrics
- CPU utilization
- Memory utilization
- Paging rate
- Paging usage
- FC and vSCSI adapter throughput and response time
- LAN adapter throughput
- SEA adapter throughput
- AME (Active Memory Expansion) usage
