Tuning Operations Center performance

The performance of the IBM Spectrum Protect™ Operations Center depends on the system resources of the hub and spoke servers and the processor and memory on the computer where the Operations Center is installed. Performance also depends on the number of client nodes and virtual machine file spaces that are being monitored by all servers.

Before you begin

Review the system requirements for the Operations Center before you install it.

About this task

Use the Operations Center System Requirements Calculator at technote 1641684 to estimate the system requirements for running the Operations Center and the hub and spoke servers that are monitored by the Operations Center.

  • Resource usage on the Operations Center computer
    The number of administrators who are logged in to the Operations Center affects resource usage on the computer where the Operations Center runs.
  • Effect of the network on performance
    The network that connects the hub server and the system where the Operations Center is installed can affect the performance of the Operations Center.
  • Effect of status monitoring on performance
    When you configure a server as a hub or spoke server, status monitoring is automatically enabled. Status monitoring requires extra resources on each server on which it is enabled.
  • Effect of the status refresh interval on performance
    In the Operations Center, the status refresh interval is the number of minutes between status collection refreshes. Changing the default value of this interval can affect the performance of the Operations Center and the servers that are using status monitoring.
