the level-2 threshold. Use the global thresholds or custom thresholds. For information about
setting the thresholds, see "5 Configuration management."

I/O State
APM can monitor the I/O status of the disk drivers in the AIX system, as shown in Figure 44.
Figure 44 I/O State area layout
I/O State area fields:
Device NameName of the disk drivers in the AIX system.
I/O RateSize of the input/output data in the disk driver per second.
IOs/SecNumber 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 to the disk.
The size of the transferred data in each transfer is not fixed.
Solaris
Solaris can be installed on the servers with x86 or SPARC processors. The performance and stability of
Solaris greatly affects the performance of applications or services running on it. APM provides the ability
to monitor Solaris 5.10 or later versions of the operating system.
Adding a Solaris application monitor
APM can monitor Solaris through CLI or SNMP. When you add application monitors for Solaris, follow
