High CPU across all Informix processes
These can be tough, but you have to start somewhere. First thing - check to see if the high usage oninit processes are CPU VPs and not some other class of VP. Run onstat -g glo and match the PID there with the PIDs shown in "top". Are you using any PDQ? Have any procedures been…

question about CPUs
John: You cannot equate the total cpu times on the onstat -g glo output to a percentage of CPU in part due to muti-threading withing the CPU VPs and in larger part to the oninits themselves migrating from one core to another. In addition, some of the "cores" are just SMT threads …
CPU VPs configuration on VMWARE
Hi, Eric, now that you have recommendations of x2 and x3 CPUVPs per (virtual) CPU, let me throw in one more suggestion: 1 CPUVP per processor. :-) But, to be fair, your optimal performance number, in otherwise solid configuration, is expected to be achieved with 2 active sessions…
HDR server - heavy CPU load
Next step, use onstat -g glo to find out which VPs are pids 27642, 27680, 27679, & 27640 That will tell you what the server is trying to do. Another thing you can do is to run onstat -g act and onstat -g top thread cpu to see what threads are running for the same reason. Art ----…
