Check the Status of the Spooler Collector
Check that the spooler collector is active and not 100 percent full.
At a TACL prompt, start SPOOLCOM and issue a COLLECT, STATUS command. For example:
1> spoolcom $spls; collect, status
COLLECT STATE FLAGS CPU PRI UNIT DATA FILE %FULL
$S ACTIVE 3 , 1 154 4 $OPS0.SPL.DATA 44
Check for Sufficient Swap File Space
You must ensure that you have configured kernel-managed swap files of sufficient size for all your
system and application software processes. The optimal amount of swap space varies, depending
on the configuration of your system. You must be a super-group user (255, n) in order to change
the KMSF configuration by adding, altering, stopping, or deleting swap space. Only one super-group
user at a time can use NSKCOM to change the configuration.
KMSF swap files need to be larger than in G-series RVUs. The best practice is to monitor swap file
usage. See the Kernel-Managed Swap Facility (KMSF) Manual for information on configuring swap
file space.
To check the size of the configured swap files for each processor:
1. At a TACL prompt, start NSKCOM:
$SYSTEM STARTUP 5> nskcom
NSKCOM - T5838H01 BASE (01OCT04) - Apr 15 2005

$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.ZSYSCFG
KMS.SWAPFILE = 0 $SYSTEM.ZSYSSWAP.SWAP00
KMS.SWAPFILE = 1 $SYSTEM.ZSYSSWAP.SWAP01
KMS.SWAPFILE = 2 $SYSTEM.ZSYSSWAP.SWAP02
KMS.SWAPFILE = 3 $SYSTEM.ZSYSSWAP.SWAP03
2. Issue the STATUS SWAPFILE * command to display the peak pages reserved so that you
can compare that information to the total amount of swap space available.
$SYSTEM TOOLS 50> nskcom STATUS SWAPFILE *
