Shalom,

System as been up 4 days 10 hours 37 minutes since last boot.

The load average is for three different measurement periods, 15 30 and 60 minutes if memory serves me.

Hi (again):

It amazes me that so many folks are so reticent to READ the manpages! You could actually get a faster answer yourself.

Shalom,

As JRF says, RTFM.

My answer came from a Linux man page on uptime. I was too lazy to start up my hp-ux box.

Hello,

In my serevr...
08:00:00 device %busy avque r+w/s blks/s avwait avserv
08:00:02 c2t0d0 1.49 0.50 2 32 0.01 13.94
08:00:04 c2t0d0 1.50 0.50 2 32 0.01 12.40


Average c2t0d0 1.50 0.50 2 32 0.01 13.17


"avwait" should be less than "avserv" ie wait time should be less than service time.
"avque" should be less than 0.50 as far as I know.

Check these for your disks.

Refer man pages for exact meaning of the terms.

Regds,

-d is for Monitor disk activity

Report activity for each block device (for example, disk or tape drive) with the exception of XDC disks and tape drives. When data is displayed, the device specification dsk- is generally used to represent a disk drive. The device specification used to represent a tape drive is machine dependent. The activity data reported is:

%busy, avque
portion of time device was busy servicing a transfer request, average number of requests outstanding during that time.

read/s, write/s, blks/s
number of read/write transfers from or to device, number of bytes transferred in 512-byte units.

avwait
average wait time in milliseconds.

avserv
average service time in milliseconds.
