Fine-Tuned
By default, AIX is a smooth-running
system. However, it benefits from some help. In this article, I have
touched on
some of the more important tuning variables, some
of the new
commands and how
our recommendations are
changing.
In addition to the
"Reference"
sidebar, be sure to review the starter set of
tunables for
your system
provided
in the sidebar
above. Please keep in mind
that these should be
tested and
your
mileage may vary.
