You can monitor the performance of PowerVM® servers, PowerVM partitions, and PowerVM Virtual I/O servers on the Monitoring tab of the Infrastructure Environment dashboard. The information appearing on this dashboard can tell you how well the selected monitored objects are performing given the current workload, and to discover potential resource-level issues, typically indicated by higher than usual processor, memory, and disk storage usage. This allows you to pro-actively reallocate resources where they are most needed, and to prevent service interruptions before they happen.
A typical PowerVM® environment includes one or more HMC instances, managed PowerVM servers, PowerVM partitions, and PowerVM Virtual I/O server (VIOS) instances. You can view the state of these components on the Infrastructure Environment dashboard when you select the PowerVM service.
The Monitoring tab displays main components of your monitored PowerVM infrastructure such as HMC instances, managed servers, partitions, and VIOS instances. When you navigate to the Infrastructure Environment dashboard and select the PowerVM service for the first time, the Monitoring tab appears open.
