Internal hard disk utilization more than 90%

[prakasse]

Hi,

We are running a java application on HP rx8640.
We see that cpu and memory are utilised less than 20%, where as disk utilization on average is more than 95% because of which we are not getting the required TPS. The disk is internal hard disk and has /root partition. We tried the same on rx6600. There too we saw disk utilization to be more than 90% where as cpu and memory are less than 30%. Any guidance will be of great help. we are using HP-UX 11.31.

here is sar output.

Hi,
With the help of vgdisplay you can see the Created Volume Group and the defined spce for those.

Use #bdf to know more detail about your file system used and total sapce defined.

if you explain what command o/P is above.. It will more easy to understand.

Hi Robert,

Data is in separate machine. But that server's resources are also underutilized. CPU/mem/disk below 30%

Thanks,
