Novell NetWare 6 performance tuning guidelines for ProLiant servers

conclusion

The ProLiant ML570 G2 server is designed with the customer in mind. The rugged and

modular architecture makes it the right solution to meet the customer’s demands today and

well into the future.

There are usually performance bottlenecks in any given server environment. The real

challenge is having the necessary skills and tools to help identify and eliminate them from

the system.

Obviously, the overall performance of any system can be gated by its weakest component.

It is therefore, important that the server be properly tuned and balanced so that all the

major subsystems are optimally configured such that one optimally configured subsystem

does not impede the performance of another.

This document has highlighted the interrelationship between the subsystems (processor,

memory, disk, and network) and the overall system performance in addition to the need to

have a thorough understanding of the environment in which the server is going to be

deployed. Tips on how to fine tune the ProLiant ML570 G2 server deployed in a file I/O

intensive and Web applications environments have been included as guidelines in order to

achieve optimum performance and capacity.
