Options

 

 

 

 

 

Free Physical

Host

The amount of free physical memory on

Memory (KB)

 

the host. To receive this data from a

 

 

64-bit AIX host, the bos.perf.libperfstat

 

 

file must be installed on the host. See the

 

 

Prerequisites section in the chapter for

 

 

installing the CIM Extension on AIX in the

 

 

Installation Guide.

 

 

 

Free Virtual

Host

The amount of free virtual memory on the

Memory (KB)

 

host. To receive this data from an AIX

 

 

host, the bos.perf.libperfstat file must be

 

 

installed on the host.

 

 

 

In Memory Sort

Oracle

This ratio shows the proportion of sorts

Ratio

 

that are performed in memory.

 

 

Optimally, most sorts should be

 

 

performed in memory. If the ratio is less

 

 

then 90 percent investigate further. You

 

 

may need to increase sort_area_size or

 

 

pga_aggregate_target (for Oracle 9i if

 

 

the workarea_ size_policy is auto.)

 

 

 

Inode Cache Hits

NAS Filers (System)

The number of inode cache hits per

Count per Second

 

second.

 

 

 

Inode Cache

NAS Filers (System)

The number of inode cache misses per

Misses Count per

 

second.

Second

 

 

 

 

 

Invalid CRC Errors

Storage Systems

The speed at which invalid cycle

(errors/second)

 

redundancy checking (CRC) errors are

 

 

found.

 

 

 

Library Cache Hit

Oracle

This gives an indication of how many

Ratio

 

times parsed SQL or PL/SQL statements

 

 

needed to be reloaded, which requires a

 

 

reload/rebuild of the statement. If the

 

 

ratio is less then 95% investigate further.

 

 

You may need to increase

 

 

shared_pool_size.
