Configuring Adaptive Optimization

System Reporter 2.8

9.3.4 Adaptive Optimization Mode

You have the choice of three modes to define the cost versus performance bias that controls

the manner in which data is moved for a given configuration as follows:

Performance -- The analysis parameters are biased towards moving the data to the faster

tiers and away from the slower tiers.

Balanced -- The analysis parameters are balanced between Performance and Cost.

Cost -- The analysis parameters are biased towards moving data to the slower (less costly)

tiers and away from the faster tiers.

You can use the mode parameter to differentiate between the resources that are available to

various configurations. For example, you may set the mode for a critical application’s

configuration to Performance and the mode parameter for a less important application to

Cost. The critical application’s data will then get relatively more of the higher performance

tier space than the less important application.

9.3.5 Adaptive Optimization Active

You can temporarily disable adaptive optimization by setting the Active bit to 0 (false) and re-

enable it by setting Active to 1 (true). Setting the Active bit to 0 only disables analysis and data

movement, it does not prevent System Reporter from sampling the region counters.

9.3.6 Adding an Adaptive Optimization Configuration

To add an Adaptive Optimization configuration:

1

From the Adaptive Optimization Configuration window, click Add Adaptive

Optimization Configuration.

The Add Adaptive Optimization Configuration window appears.

2

Select the system for which optimization will be enabled. The systems that are available

from the pull-down menu are added through the InServ Systems tab in the System Reporter

Policies window.

NOTE: The measurement hours selected should not exceed the retention time for

adaptive optimization samples set in the sampling policies (see

7.2.2 Editing

Sampling Policies

on page 7.4).
