Table 2 Measure Entity Types
PageMeasured System ResourceEntity Type
154Fiber Optic Extension (FOX) and ServerNet/FX cluster traffic.
Does not apply to H-series and J-series RVUs.
CLUSTER
158I/O activity on device controllers on HP NonStop K-series
servers only. (Disabled in Measure D30 (T9086ACV), D44
CONTROLLER
(T9086ACR), and D45 (T9086ACQ). To enable it, use the
define on page 158.)
161Processors.CPU
179I/O devices, such as tape drives. Does not include disks,
communication lines, subdevices, and asynchronous terminals.
DEVICE
Each of these devices has its own entity type. In G-series and
later RVUs, this entity applies to tape and Open SCSI IOPs.
189Disks.DISC or DISK
208I/O operations performed by a single opener process on a
specified disk file (physical file access).
DISCOPEN or DISKOPEN
217I/O operations performed by all opener processes on a
specified disk file (physical file access).
DISKFILE
n.a.A file containing an external record format for OSS pathnames
and ANSI SQL names. EXTNAMES, not a formal Measure
EXTNAMES
entity in the command interface, is a record format and
structured output file that results from a LIST EXTNAMES
command.
227I/O operations performed by a local user process on an
explicitly opened file (logical file access).
FILE
248Communications lines, such as SNAX/XF and X25AM lines.LINE
255Network communications lines, such as Expand lines.NETLINE
263Optical disks (D-series and Himalaya K-series servers).OPDISK
270OSS elements in each system processor.OSSCPU
n.a.OSS file pathname mapping. The OSSNAMES file, not a
formal Measure entity in the command interface, is a record
OSSNAMES
format and structured output file that results from a LIST
OSSNAMES command. The file is used for linking internal
format OSS PATHID and CRVSN data in other record types
to the external OSS file pathname translation.
