hp-unix glane

[hamad_4]

Hi every one
I have two requests
first when using glance on the hp-unix server i see a 75% mem utilization and 31% swap utilization.
is this a sine of low memory or what could be the problem putting in mind sometimes some applications hang.

The second request is where do i find a good document to show me how to use glance to trouble-shoot my server and understand the counters it shows. Like if i have a high page faults and paging requests, which we have.

Hi,
To answer your second question :
http://h21007.www2.hp.com/dspp/files/unprotected/devresource/Docs/TechPapers/UXPerfCookBook.pdf
You'll probably also find hints in there to solve your first request.

Regards,
Tom

thanks for the document it's what i was looking for. but is there another document that shows you how to use glance to trouble-shoot the system.
glance shows me that i have a high page faults and paging requests what does that mean.

Hi

tom docs is a very good doc how to trubleshoot a problem of performance .

you can also go to this link for info :
http://www.docs.hp.com/hpux/netsys/index.html#HP%20OpenView%20GlancePlus%20and%20GlancePlus%20Pak

there is docs about glance but there isnt any book or doc that i know how to trubleshoot performance problem with glance .

the tool that can help you to trubleshoot problem of performance it perfview and meas. that collect the info for a all the time , glance gives you a glance of the system but you dont know what is the status of the performance for all the time with glance .
