GPA Manual for G-series RVUs
Guardian Performance Analyzer (GPA) Manual – (544977-001)    Page 66 of 106 
rates the relative performance of the node’s subsystems with scores ranging from 0 to 
100 percent. 
The performance scores for \NODEA (Example 4-8) clearly show how poorly some of 
the subsystems are performing, mainly because of the node’s severe memory 
shortage. 
Example 4-8. System Performance Indicators for \NODEA 
IV. SYSTEM PERFORMANCE SCORE 
 1. CPU SUBSYSTEM 1% 
 2. MEMORY SUBSYSTEM 1% 
 3. DISK CACHE SUBSYSTEM 83% 
 4. DISK VOLUME SUBSYSTEM 9% 
 5. SYSTEM RECOVERY PERFORMANCE 52% 
 *6 WEIGHTED ANALYSIS SYSTEM SCORE 1% 
 * Average Score rated: BEST = 100, WORST = 0. 
In the case of \NODEB (Example 4-9) the scores indicate that the disk volume 
subsystem has the greatest potential for improvement. 
Example 4-9. System Performance Indicators for \NODEB 
 IV. SYSTEM PERFORMANCE SCORE 
 1. CPU SUBSYSTEM 88% 
 2. MEMORY SUBSYSTEM 100% 
 3. DISK CACHE SUBSYSTEM 91% 
 4. DISK VOLUME SUBSYSTEM 26% 
 5. SYSTEM RECOVERY PERFORMANCE 75% 
 *6. WEIGHTED ANALYSIS SYSTEM SCORE 76% 
 * Average Score rated: BEST = 100, WORST = 0. 
Example 4-10 shows that for \NODEC, on the other hand, the most potential for 
improvement is in the System Recovery Performance, the Disk Volume Subsystem, 
and the CPU Subsystem. 
Example 4-10. System Performance Indicators for \NODEC 
 IV. SYSTEM PERFORMANCE SCORE 
 1. CPU SUBSYSTEM : 76% 
 2. MEMORY SUBSYSTEM : 92% 
 3. DISK CACHE SUBSYSTEM : 88% 
 4. DISK VOLUME SUBSYSTEM : 68% 
 5. SYSTEM RECOVERY PERFORMANCE : 52% 
 * 6. WEIGHTED ANALYSIS SYSTEM SCORE : 75%
