question
1.how to calculate the paging space in sar -q option
2.how to calculate the disk i/o in sar -d option

[Steven E. Protter]

Shalom,

1.how to calculate the paging space in sar -q option

I would use swapinfo -tam to calculate total memory and page space and show use.

2.how to calculate the disk i/o in sar -d option

The key hereis to read the columns.
avwait means there is a wait time for I/O tog et done. Not happening here. There appears to be no problems that I can see. %busy is 1% and 2% for an average of .6%

runq-sz - Average length of the run queue(s) of processes
(in memory and runnable)

%runocc - The percentage of time the run queue(s) were occupied by processes
(in memory and runnable)

swpq-sz - Average length of the swap queue of runnable processes
(processes swapped out but ready to run)

For second part;
%busy Portion of time device was busy servicing a request

avque Average number of requests outstanding for the device

r+w/s Number of data transfers per second (read and writes)
from and to the device

blks/s Number of bytes transferred (in 512-byte units)
from and to the device

avwait Average time (in milliseconds) that transfer requests
waited idly on queue for the device

avserv Average time (in milliseconds) to service each
