How do I measure NFM-P performance?
Steps
1   | 
 Log into a main server, auxiliary server, or main database station as the root user.  | 
2   | 
 Open a console window.  | 
3   | 
 Enter the following to list the processes that have the highest CPU usage: # top ↵ Depending on your system configuration, approximately the top 20 processes are displayed. The top NFM-P process, by CPU usage, is typically the Java process.  | 
4   | 
 Review the output; see the top man page for a description of the output fields.  | 
5   | 
 Record the data for future performance comparison. Look for data that indicates excessive or continuously increasing CPU usage by the Java process.  | 
6   | 
 Press Ctrl+C to stop the command.  | 
7   | 
 Enter the following to list CPU resource usage information: # mpstat nn ↵ where nn is the time, in seconds, between CPU polls; a value between 10 and 60 is recommended  | 
8   | 
 Review the command output; see the mpstat man page for a description of the output fields.  | 
9   | 
 Record the data for future performance comparison. Look for a difference in the output for a similar load on each station; a difference may indicate CPU performance degradation.  | 
10   | 
 Press Ctrl+C to stop the command.  | 
11   | 
 Enter the following to list disk performance information: # iostat -x n ↵ where nn is the time, in seconds, during which you want to collect data; a starting value of 2 is recommended  | 
12   | 
 Review the output; see the iostat man page for a description of the output fields.  | 
13   | 
 Record the data for future performance comparison. Look for a difference in the output for a similar load on each station that may indicate disk performance degradation on a station.  | 
14   | 
 Press Ctrl+C to stop the command.  | 
15   | 
 Use an OS command to list network interface throughput and error statistics.  | 
16   | 
 Record the data for future performance comparison. Look for a difference in the output for a similar load on each station that may indicate network performance degradation.  | 
17   | 
 Close the console window. End of steps  |
