Enviro:

2 H50s, 4.3.3.10, each w/1.5GB memory & 3 processors, 7133-020 SSA disks
2 H70s, 4.3.3.06/10, each w/4GB memory & 4 processors, 7133-D40 SSA disks

I have found 3 AIX performance monitoring tools that can be used to monitor
these RS/6000s:

1) sar (system activity report)
2) PDT (performance diagnostic tool)
3) NMON (running in logging mode)

Questions:

What are the good/bad points of these tools?

If you are using them, how do you use them in your environment?

TIA
