Performance Tuning; Improving Snmp Management Platform Performance - HP -UX B6941-90001 Administrator's Reference Manual

Performance Tuning

In general, you can carry out the following to improve system
performance:
Increase the RAM, in order to reduce disk swapping
Upgrade the CPU
Do not use the LAN/9000 logging and tracing commands nettl(1M)
and netfmt(1M) unless absolutely necessary
Use different physical disks for the file systems and for swap space
Use high-bandwidth network links between the management server,
managed nodes and display stations
Improving SNMP Management Platform
Performance
To improve SNMP management platform performance, reduce or
eliminate those HP OpenView Network Node Manager processes which
are not used, or are used only infrequently:
Stop netmon(1M), increase its polling interval, or un-manage
segments which are not of interest.
Reduce the amount of memory used by ovwdb(1M) (the HP
OpenView Windows object database daemon) for managing large
numbers of nodes.
Do not use the logging and tracing options provided for the HP
OpenView Network Node Manager daemons (trapd, netmon, etc.)
unless absolutely necessary.
Configure the management server as a secondary Domain Name
Server.
Reduce the number of background graphics in the HP OpenView
submaps to the minimum.
