We are having slowness problem with our application running on HP Alpha
GS1280 with 6 CPU & 32GB RAM.

All was working well for quite long time but recently we started feeling slow
performance.

So we escalated matter to our Application vendor & below is there analysis,

 

"You have 2 10/100 fast Ethernet - that is not connected.

bcm0 is your Gigabit adapter and this is being used for your ORACLE
connections.

Fiber Channel (Emulex Lightpulse) - to your storage

 

You should therefore check the following:

1. Check with your OS vendor if you should reconfigure your TCP/IP

   parameters on the Gigabit Ethernet as typically the default is

   25% of throughput is lost to overheads.

   I may need to check the relevant documentation for altering your

   TCP/IP window and MTU values to improve the performance a little.

   Typically Gigabit Ethernet has a slow latency until the throughput

   Improves - it's optimized for larger packet sizes."

 

Please advice which parameters I check & change??
