IDS10 on AIX 5.3.
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I still don't have a satisfactory answer.
We are trying to determine exactly how much percentage of our system cpu, that Informix is using through time.
This is proving to be a difficult task, because sar doesn't provide process names or id's so that I can correlate a percentage to 'oninit'.
ps command doesn't provide percentage.
I am thinking that at least I can use onstat -g glo, add up all of the total time for cpu vps ( because I think those are the metrics of what oninit does on the physical cpus ).
First question: Am I correct that only the cpuvps are directly tied to the physical cpus? Or do I need to be counting all of the vps ?
Second question. The numbers provided for each cpu is what ? Seconds ?
So, assuming that oninit has been up the entire time that the lpar has been up, if I divide the total time from onstat -g glo by the number of seconds since the lpar has been up, will that tell me the percentage of cpu that oninit uses ?
Thanks for any advice on this.
