4.9 Troubleshooting the Policy Advisor

If a large number of tuning operations are suggested, it might be beneficial to run some of

the tuning operations, let them complete, and then re-run Policy Advisor. It is possible that

changes to the system configuration made by earlier tuning operations might affect the

later tuning operations.

If suggested tuning operations start to fail, stop the Policy Advisor script and then re-run it.

Most likely, something on the system has changed since the script started. Stop and re-run

the script to see if new tuning operations are suggested with the current configuration.

The script always starts with the smallest virtual volumes first to attempt to free space on

more heavily used physical disks. This gives tuning operations on larger virtual volumes a

better chance of improving the layout. If there is very little space on the system, space

needs to be freed up before Policy Advisor will be effective.
