Load/Stress Performance test.

[joe_91]

Team:

We are having n class servers running 11.0. We are going to do a load/stress test for some new new Xmotif applications. These applications are launched from PC using xemulator. I would like to capture the load on the nclass servers. Can anyone please give me an idea how to capture the load on these servers?

Thanks
Joe.

the free method would be
sar -A
( run this as often as disk space permits, you can examine the output after the test)
add to that
vmstat
possibly nfstat if remote filesystems.

best bet might be:
Get a demo of glance from HP's site, and use that throughout the test.

uptime and top command gives you load average
You can also use sar -u to get this.

install measure ware agent (now called OV PErformance Agent) to collect historycal metrics (there is trial version!)

then you can view details from Perf View (there is trial version also)

with this you can view a performance graph time, while with glance you can only view the instant time

good luck!

Also you can use Glance and perfview to capture all system information in a graphical view. glance will give you real time picture but perfview can be used to get history.

The trial versions are available in application CD.

Thanks to all. I have installed glance. so can i capture the load for each application or processes?

Thanks

Joe.

no

you need Performace Agent for this

install it and then from perfview you can drill down each process...

remember start PA after install it!

# mwa start
