Setting the stage:
–Performance analysts requesting more detailed and
comprehensive tools, especially with POWER7
–Current tools present partition views
–Need a single tool to view system-wide
performance across entire CEC with ability
to drill down to all individual partitions
Developed as an internal tool
–Rapid development of prototype technology
–Tie together new POWER7 internal tools
–Developed working prototype, tried use cases
Very high interest from:
–Power Systems performance analysts
–Formerly known (internally) as Sleuth
Background
During an IPL of the entire Power System, the Hypervisor determines
an optimal resource placement strategy for the server based on the
partition configuration and the hardware topology of the system.
There was a desire to have a visual understanding of how the
hardware resources were assigned and being consumed by the
various partitions that were running on the platform.
It was also desired to have a visual indication showing a resource’s
consumption and when it was going past a warning threshold (yellow)
and when it was entering an overcommitted threshold (red.)
Why PowerVP?

We want to minimize multi-node far dispatches as possible Do not worry about far dispatches on single-node systems
What’s a bad FARDISP% rate? No rule-of-thumb, but 1000’s of far
dispatches per second will likely indicate lower performance
How do we fix? Newer firmware, entitlement & memory sizing

Topology/Drill down Views
PowerVP
•We can see each node has four chips/sockets. We can also see
numbers in the boxes which indicate how busy each of the chips
are. The green lines between the nodes shows the traffic on the
SMP fabric between each node.
PowerVP – System Topology
•The initial view shows the
hardware topology of the
system you are logged into.
•In this view, we see a Power
795 with all eight books and/or
nodes installed.
PowerVP
•We can also see the green lines showing the buses between the chips. We
can also see the memory controllers and the GX busses which shows traffic
to and from our remote I/O. We also see green lines on the top, bottom, and
corners. This is the SMP connections to other nodes and shows traffic.
PowerVP – Node drill down
•This view appears when you click
on one of the nodes and allows you
to see the resources being
consumed by the workload running
on the system. In this view we can
see this system is using eight core
chips.
PowerVP
•We can drill down on several of the resources. Example: I can drill down on
the Disk transfer rate to see how balanced my I/Ops are across the drives
assigned to this LPAR.
PowerVP - Partition drill down
•The view allows us to drill down on
resources being used by a specific
partition that we clicked on.
•In this view, we see CPU, Memory,
Disk Iops, and Ethernet being
consumed. We can also get an idea
of cache and memory affinity.

The POWER7 processor has a built in Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU), which
is designed to provide instrumentation to aid in performance monitoring, workload
characterization, system characterization code analysis.
The PMU comprises of 6 thread level Performance Monitor Counters (PMC).
PMC1 -PMC4 are programmable, PMC5 counts non idle completed instructions
and PMC6 counts non idle cycles.
CPI (Cycles Per Instruction) – the average number of clock cycles (of fractions of
a cycle) needed to complete an instruction. CPI is best understood as a relative
quantity. Lower is better, but that assumes that useful work is being done. CPI is a
measure of processor performance.
Data from the hardware performance monitor (HPM) can be used to characterize
application performance on POWER7, possibly with the intent of finding
performance bottlenecks and looking for opportunities to optimize the target code.

Client Interface
Node View Memory Controller (MC):
These are a set of links that
connect the memory to the
socket. These MC buses carry
data between the memory
controller and the chip.
PowerVP portrays these links
and their utilization Having a
higher rate of data transfer
implies that there is a higher
rate of data transfer. Powerbus (W, X, Y, Z, A, B, C): These are a set of links or buses within Power Systems.
Within PowerVP, those links that are labeled W, X, Y, or Z are links within a hardware node;
those links that are labeled A or B are links between hardware nodes. These Powerbus
links carry data between a given chip and other resources outside that chip (cache,
memory, I/O). PowerVP portrays these links and their utilizations. Having a higher
Powerbus utilization implies that there is a higher rate of data transfer.
I/O (GX or PHB) bus: These are a set of links or buses within a Power System that connect
the I/O subsystems to the chip. These links carry data for storage I/O and network I/O.
PowerVP portrays these links, their utilization, as well as their inbound/outbound data rate.
Having a higher GX (or PHB on POWER8) bus utilization implies that there is a higher rate
of data transfer.
Partition drill down
CPI stack analysis: CPU utilization can be broken down into CPI components.
Load/Store Unit (LSU CPI) reflects the cycles consumed for accessing data (L1,
cache, L2 cache, L3 cache, memory). Floating Point (FXU CPI) reflects cycles
consumed on executing floating point. Global Completion Table (GCT CPI)
reflects cycles consumed waiting on the global completion table for pipelining out-
of-order instruction execution. PowerVP analysis typically focuses on LSU CPI.
LSU CPI stack analysis
LSU CPI stack analysis: Normally the largest component of CPU utilization is
the LSU CPI for OLTP applications. In other words, accessing data consumes a
majority of the CPU resources. A characterization of the time accessing data from
L1 cache, L2 cache, L3 cache, and memory; this also notes whether the
accesses are for cache/memory for a given chip or for another chip on the same
processor module or hardware node or distant hardware node.

Recording
To record performance data, first select system (Host Information) and push record
button
File → Load - to open previously recorded monitoring
If you want to record without using the GUI, you can do that by running the following from command entry:
$ java -jar /path/powervp.jar -monitor -host mysystem.com -username userid -password passw0rd
where path is the path to the directory where you installed PowerVP, mysystem.com is the name of the system level agent system, and userid and
password is the user id/password for that system. Note that you can only record system level information in the background. You will need to monitor
the size of the recording file as there is no maximum file size. NOT in v1.1.3

New in PowerVP 1.1.3
• Several features and functions have changed since the last release of PowerVP. Here is the short list of
important changes I‟ve encountered so far.
• The new PowerVP web interface does not support the older level of PowerVP agents. You will need to
update both the System level and Partition level agents to v1.1.3 in order for the new version to function.
• The old PowerVP GUI was previously installed on Windows as a PowerVP.exe application. This has been
replaced by a launch-powervp.bat file (a shortcut will be created on your desktop). This starts the Liberty
server for the GUI. You must select to install Liberty for this file to be installed. The following screenshot lists
the contents of my PowerVP GUI Installation directory for my Windows laptop.

Note: Please ensure that Java is in your path on your Windows machine. If it is not PowerVP will fail to start
and you may be presented with an error stating that “javaw” cannot be found. You can check if Java is in the
path by opening a DOS prompt and entering a java command For example:

• VIOS Performance Advisor – A new tab was automatically opened in my web browser which showed me
the VIOS advisor report for my VIOS. Impressive stuff!

New in PowerVP 1.1.3 – continued – Liberty!
• When prompted, select to install Liberty for PowerVP as part of the GUI installation. The IBM PowerVP
Redbook explains why:
“Starting with Version 1.1.3 PowerVP has a web based GUI. It is packaged in the
Web Application Archive (WAR) format and it must be deployed onto an application
server. By default, PowerVP GUI uses IBM WebSphere® Application Server
Liberty Core. Liberty profile is a new server profile of IBM WebSphere
Application Server V8.5. Liberty profile provides all features required to run the
PowerVP, it is lightweight, has a small footprint and fast startup time.
Because the new PowerVP GUI is web based it is now possible that a single
instance of this GUI be accessed by multiple users using web browsers. This
eliminates the need to install a console for each PowerVP user and avoids the
potential overhead generated by additional performance data requests initiated from
multiple consoles. PowerVP users can connect to the web GUI using web browsers.
Users must be able to connect to the ports on which the application server is
listening. Default port numbers are 9080 for HTTP traffic and 9443 for HTTPS traffic.
Port numbers can be changed during the installation process.”

• PowerVP permanent data store - new enhanced method to record performance data.
• Command line recording is no longer supported.
• Agent writes PowerVP performance data to a file “data store”.
• When “recording” PowerVP will consume space on your LPARs local file system.
• The amount of space will depend on the size of your Power system, the number of partitions configured
on your Power system, and the sample interval configured for the PowerVP agent.
• You should monitor the size of the PowerVP recording file to make sure that there is room for the file.
• LogFileRotation and LogFileArchive directives to control the PowerVP data store
• The data is stored in CSV format.
• PowerVP can be configured to rotate and archive the files automatically.
# cat /etc/opt/ibm/powervp/powervp.conf | grep Log
# LogData (Yes | No | system | partition)
# you also set the LogFilePath, LogFileRotation, and LogFileArchive directives.

• Installing and using IBM PowerVP and IBM AIX (IBM developerWorks)
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-aix-installing-ibm-powervp/
• LPM tip. For LPM, you have to stop the powervp agent, change the config file to point to
the new system level agent and restart powervp. If you don't, it will try to talk to the prior
system level agent, and it may actually be able to, if the partition numbers match up. But it
could replace the real partition at that partition id, which would be problematic. So, best to
change it and restart.
