Z Performance - z/OS I/O Performance and Capacity Planning z/OS 2.5
Duration
3 hours
Overview
In this course you will examine the I/O process and see how I/O performance problems are detected, and the metrics used to determine where a problem may exist. Methods used to improve I/O performance are also discussed.
