Calculating System Parameters for UNIX and Linux<br />

0 pending disk I/Os blocked with no pbuf<br />

5060 paging space I/Os blocked with no psbuf<br />

5512714 filesystem I/Os blocked with no fsbuf<br />

194775 client filesystem I/Os blocked with no fsbuf<br />

0 external pager filesystem I/Os blocked with no fsbuf<br />

If you see an increase in the following parameters, increase the values for better <strong>Caché</strong> performance:<br />

• pending disk I/Os blocked with no pbuf<br />

• paging space I/Os blocked with no psbuf<br />

• filesystem I/Os blocked with no fsbuf<br />

• client filesystem I/Os blocked with no fsbuf<br />

• external pager filesystem I/Os blocked with no fsbuf<br />

When increasing these parameters from the default values:<br />

1. Increase the current value by 50%.<br />

2. Check the vmstat output.<br />

3. Run vmstat twice, two minutes apart.<br />

4. If the field is still increasing, increase again by the same amount; continue this step until the field<br />

stops increasing between vmstat reports.<br />

Important:<br />

Change both the current and the reboot values, and check the vmstat output regularly<br />

because I/O patterns may change over time (hours, days, or weeks).<br />

See the following IBM Web pages for more detailed information:<br />

• For a complete description of each of the fields reported by vmstat, see the vmstat Command<br />

page of AIX Commands Reference, Volume 6, v - z at:<br />

• For instructions on how to increase these parameters, see the VMM page replacement tuning section<br />

of the AIX Performance Management <strong>Guide</strong> at:<br />

AIX Tunable Parameters<br />

None of the following listed parameters requires tuning because each is dynamically adjusted as needed<br />

by the kernel. See the appropriate AIX operating system documentation for more information.<br />
