Hello,

Please can you provide any tru64 specific performance monitoring commands.

I am aware of

vmstat
iostat
top
collect
netstat

is there any other tools worth investigating that can help me trouble shoot performance?

many thanks

chris.

Hi,

sys_check is also a good command to run, as it gathers quite a lot of information together, and provides some tuning recommendations.

Cheers,

Rob

Collect is the best tool I think, if you are using cluster, then you will also need:

cfsmgr -a STATISTICS
drdmgr

If you are serving files via NFS:

nfsstat

For longer term data collection and review, you want to use collect as mentioned.

My favourite tool for active monitoring is actually 'monitor'. It feels a little liek the well known 'top', but focusses on system stuff (disk, networt, cpu) rather then processes.

It is part of the Open Source Software Collection for Tru64 UNIX.
