Measure Reference Manual

OSSNS
The OSSNS entity provides information about the operation and performance of OSS name server
processes. There is one record for the primary and backup processes configured for each OSS
name server defined on a system. Any OSS operation involving an OSS file pathname uses the
OSS name server.
OSSNS entities can only be used on systems running Measure G10 and later PVUs.

Entity Specification Syntax for OSSNS Entities
To describe OSSNS entities:
OSSNS entity-spec [, entity-spec ] ...
entity-spec
is specified as:
{ * }
{ pid }
{ $process-name [(pid)] }
{ [[$device.]subvolume.]filename [(pid)] }
where:
*
measures elements for all OSS name server processes on the local system.
pid
is the process identifier of the OSS name server process to be measured. Specify pid as
one of:
{ cpu,pin }
{ SYSTEM-PROCESSES }
cpu
is the number of the CPU on which the OSS name server process to be measured is
running. To indicate all CPUs, use an asterisk (*). The default is all CPUs.
pin
is the process identification number of the OSS name server process to be measured.
Use an asterisk (*) to specify all process identification numbers.
SYSTEM-PROCESSES
measures all OSS name server processes installed using the SYSGEN program.
process-name
is the Guardian name of a specific OSS name server process to measure.
$device
is the device (volume) on which the object file of the OSS name server process to be
measured is located. To indicate all volumes, use an asterisk (*). The default is the current
default volume.
