Suriya Prakash — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 04:13:55 GMT

Hi,

I have a HP Integrity rx2660 server and EVA 4400 storage. I want to check the performance of the server like ram usage, processor usage and free hard disk space. and i also want to check the EVA performance, space allocated to EVA, space used and space free.

Pls guide me to check this.

Regards,
Suriya.

If you have Glance installed on your server, you can get all these details. Else use native commands like top,sar, vmstat, iostat etc..

If you have access to Command View EVA, you can get the details of your EVA storage..

Thanks

check whether glance installed.

swlist |grep -i glance

If installed, execute the below command to check your memory, cpu etc usage.

glance

Otherwise, you can use the command top

Hi,
You can use glance to monitor the performance and if you see more memory and CPU utilisation then you can use following commands to check the high resource utilizing processes.

to check high memory processes

UNIX95= ps -ef -o "vsz,pid,user,pcpu,args"|sort -rn -k1 |head -30

for high CPU

UNIX95= ps -ef -o pcpu="CPU %" -o ruser=USER -o pid,args|sort -rk1|head -30

if you're used to the task manager, then the "top" command is your choice
