Performance Tuning

In general, you can carry out the following to improve system
performance:

❏ Increase the RAM, in order to reduce disk swapping

❏ Upgrade the CPU

❏ Do not use the LAN/9000 logging and tracing commands

nettl(1M)

and

netfmt(1M)

unless absolutely necessary

❏ Use different physical disks for the file systems and for swap space

❏ Use high-bandwidth network links between the management server,

managed nodes and display stations

Improving SNMP Management Platform
Performance

To improve SNMP management platform performance, reduce or
eliminate those HP OpenView Network Node Manager processes which
are not used, or are used only infrequently:

❏ Stop

netmon(1M)

, increase its polling interval, or un-manage

segments which are not of interest.

❏ Reduce the amount of memory used by

ovwdb(1M)

(the HP

OpenView Windows object database daemon) for managing large
numbers of nodes.

❏ Do not use the logging and tracing options provided for the HP

OpenView Network Node Manager daemons (

trapd, netmon

, etc.)

unless absolutely necessary.

❏ Configure the management server as a secondary Domain Name

Server.

❏ Reduce the number of background graphics in the HP OpenView

submaps to the minimum.
