the memory usage ratio index. Move the pointer over the each sampling point to view the
memory usage ratio of the monitored process for the time being.
I/O status
APM can monitor the I/O status of the disk drivers in the AIX system, as shown in Figure 46.
Figure 46 I/O state
This pane contains the following information:
Device NameIndicate the name of the disk drivers in the AIX system.
I/O RateIndicate the number of bits of the input/output data in the disk driver per second.
IOs/SecIndicate the number of the transfer times in the disk driver per second. A transfer is an
I/O request to the physical disk. Multiple logical requests can be integrated into a single I/O
request. The size of the transferred data in each transfer is not fixed.
Solaris
As a UNIX operation system, the Solaris system can be installed on the servers with x86 or SPARC
processor. The performance and stability of Solaris greatly affect the performance of applications or
services running on it. Therefore, APM provides the ability to monitor Solaris operation system.
APM can monitor the Solaris 5.10 or latter version.
Configuring Solaris monitor
APM can monitor Solaris operation system using CLI or SNMP mode. Before starting Solaris monitor
configuration on APM, make sure that the following conditions are meet:
The Solaris operation system to be monitored starts up, and the Telnet/SSH or SNMP is enabled.
For more information, see the Solaris configuration guide.
The host on which Solaris resides has been added to the IMC base platform. For more
information, see HP Intelligent Management Center Base Platform Administrator Guide.
Monitoring the Solaris via CLI, APM obtains the Telnet\SSH user name and password of the
Solaris host through the IMC PLAT. Therefore, you need to configure the correct Telnet/SSH user
name and password in the IMC PLAT before monitoring the Solaris system, and the Telnet\SSH
user must have the administrator authority of the host on which Solaris resides.
Monitoring the Solaris via SNMP, APM obtains the SNMP community string through the IMC PLAT.
Therefore, you need to configure the SNMP parameters in the IMC PLAT before monitoring the
Solaris system.
