Performance tuning of Novell Netware based on fuzzy reasoning
Shihab, Khalil · Swinburne figshare (Swinburne University of Technology) · 2008
This work presents the design and implementation of a fuzzy logic system (FLS) for performance tuning of the Novell Netware 6.5 network operating system. The system provides intelligent support and maintenance for identifying bottlenecks in Netware 6.5 performance and recommending solutions to the problems. Currently, it handles problems in Netware resource managers, such as memory utilization, disk utilization, processors, and I/O subsystems. It has been implemented in the FuzzyCLIPS environment and tested on Novell Netware Service Pack 7. Preliminary results have indicated that such a fuzzy-based tool for operating system performance tuning is viable; increases the productivity of system maintenance personnel and reduces the cost of training; and provides users of a network operating system with prompt solutions to their system performance problems.
