paging and swapping info/ statistics needed

[John Destreel]

Hi,
i'm resizing SGA's for a few oracle databases and am concerned about swapping and paging activity of HPUX. I'm missing the (linux)sar -p and sar -p performance views. What are the HPUX equivalents for the pageouts/s and rclm/s parameters?
Basically how do I determine how badly a HPUX is swapping and paging or not at all?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

#vmstat

would explain you better

John,

I always look at vmstat. Something like "vmstat 1 5" and check the "po" (page out) column. If it's anything other than zero, you're paging and your performance is not going to be good.

Hi,
#vmstat
will do it for you.
Also if you have glanceplus installed on your server, it would serve you better.

Hi,

you could also use "swapinfo -tm" instead

Yes, I was aware of that. I would like to spit a little deeper with sar -p equivalents.

thanks.
