GPA Analysis Statements
The final section of the standard report is a series of text statements based on the
GPA analysis of the node’s performance. The section consists of several parts as
follows:
• A discussion of the overall health of the system with regard to system capacity,
CPU load balance, CPU memory capacity, and disk subsystem performance. The
