Re: vmstat and DSP90 I've collected the following statistics from our DSP90 (3MB RAM) running SR10.1 with default SYSTYPE=4.3: ===> /systest/ssr*/vmstat 2 5 procs memory page disk net faults cpu r b w avm fre re pi po fr de sr dr dw nr nt da ex cs us sy id ------ -------- --------------------- ----- ----- ---------- -------- 1 0 0 2222 0 0 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 95 0 5 1 0 0 2222 0 0 4 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0100 0 0 1 0 0 2222 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 97 1 2 1 0 0 2222 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0100 0 0 1 0 0 2222 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 97 0 3 Notice that the CPU user processes times (us under cpu) is strangely high, I wonder anybody has tried using vmstat on DSP90 and got this kind of results. I am puzzled by the high cpu-us time b'cos I was the only log-in user thru' the terminal connected to DSP90. I didn't run any program except /systest/ssr*/vmstat. The similar kind of statistics on DSP90 can be collected anytime using 'vmstat'. I ran 'vmstat' on our DN580 series, the statistics showed a low cpu-us but high cpu-id time which is very reasonable since nobody is doing anything on those machines. Can anyone tell me wether 'vmstat' is reliable or SR10.1 on DSP90 is doing something very different when it is on DN580? The following ps might be helpful: PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 1 ?
