Tuning
Use this information to improve IBM® Domino® server, Domino Web server, and messaging performance through the use of resource balancing and activity trends, Server.Load commands, advanced database properties, cluster statistics, and the Server Health Monitor.
Resource balancing and activity trends
Domino® server resource utilization can be separated into two types, system activity and user activity. System activity, which includes the level of processor, disk, memory, and network consumption that Domino generates to keep the server running, is a fixed amount of activity, as long as systems are healthy and performing smoothly. Domino servers typically use a modest percentage of their resources to run. The remaining server capacity is used to support user activity, which varies with the usefulness of the data on the server.
Balancing resources in Activity Trends to decommission a server
Decommissioning a server is a special case of workload balancing in which everything outside the default pin list is moved from the server. The databases that remain, which may still account for significant activity, are either system databases or databases that are typically installed on every server, such as templates or help files. In most cases the latter group will be the same on every server, with the possible exception of unread marks.
Displaying additional statistics during resource balancing
You can change the statistic that displays on the current or projected profile chart so that you can view the balance of other types of database activity. By default, when you balance resources, the primary goal is the statistic that displays.

Displaying additional statistics during resource balancing

You can change the statistic that displays on the current or projected profile chart so that you can view the balance of other types of database activity. By default, when you balance resources, the primary goal is the statistic that displays.

Procedure

From the Domino® Administrator, click the Server > Performance tab and open the Resource Balancing view.
Click the Filter button on the Available Databases tab.
Select the statistic you want to display.
Under Options, select one or more of the following. The defaults vary depending on the statistic.
- Use Trended values -- to use trended statistics, instead of current statistics.
- Use Prime Shift values -- to use statistics collected during the prime shift hours. Prime shift hours are specified in the Configuration Settings document when you set up Activity Trends.
- Size in proportion to capacity -- to base statistics on server capacity. Server capacity is specified in the server properties.
