HP-UX Stress Testing - The Workshop On Performance and Reliability

MeasureWare Data Walkthrough:Global Memory Graph• GBL_MEM_PAGEOUT_RATE• The total number of page outs to the disk per secondduring the interval. This includes pages paged outto paging space and to the file system.• This is the same as the "page outs" value from the"vmstat -s" command. Remember that "vmstat -s"reports cumulative counts.• To determine the rate (thatis, GBL_MEM_PAGEOUT_RATE) for the current interval,subtract the previous value from the current value andthen divide by the length of the interval.• Keep in mind that whenever any comparisons are madewith other tools, both tools must be interval synchronizedwith each other in order to be valid.March 2004 Copyright © 2004 HP corporate presentation.
