Re: Network bottelneck

glance can occasionally be a bit, well, paranoid, about network bottlenecks - especially older versions of glance.

you might look at the KB/s (in glance) for your NIC and see how close it is to the theoretical maximum - you can also check netstat -p tcp to look for retransmissions and out-of-order segments and lanadmin for link-level packet loss - those can be indications of a congested network.

Hi Sreekanth,

Unless you customized your alarmdef file, the network warnings you see in glance are not generally applicable to 100MB interfaces if not if you have Gigabit interfaces.

Look at /var/opt/perf/alarmdef file and change the settings to suit to your interfaces.

As mentioned, you can extract the numbers corresponding to each interface using 'extract' utility. Create a file called "net.in" with the following entries

DATE
TIME
BYNETIF_NAME
BYNETIF_NET_SPEED
BYNETIF_IN_BYTE_RATE
BYNETIF_OUT_BYTE_RATE

Run 'extract' and choose 'guide'. Take defaults except when it prompts for template file, type net.in and proceed. Once you are done, you should get a file called xfrdNETIF.asc file. You can import it to excel and look at the numbers.

Or if you Perfview installed, use 'pv' to view the data online.
