4-2
System Performance Summary
•
The average disk volume busy time is 2.8 percent and the average disk process busy
time is 3.3 percent.
•
The system resources are being utilized at 55.7 percent of the maximum
recommended level.
The data indicate that this is a small- to moderate-sized system running at well below the
maximum recommended level.
Example 4-2
shows that \NODEB has characteristics that are generally similar to those
of \NODEA.
Example 4-3
shows that \NODEC has more memory than the others, and is being
utilized at a higher average percentage. This utilization is also closer to the maximum
recommended value. Considering that the CPUs in \NODEC have more memory and
power than those in \NODEA or \NODEB, this system also has a relatively low number
of dynamic PCBs.
