Disc I/Os per Second (DIOCHRT)
•
Individual share of total driver calls (system I/Os) and a graph of this share
•
Cumulative share of total driver calls
This chart uses the GLOBINFO and DOPENSUM entities.
Parameters used are:
•
LID—specifies the Measure Load ID
•
EXCLUDE—specifies a value under which to exclude the number of requests per
second
•
SECTION—specifies the report section number
The chart is sorted in descending order of total driver calls.
Disc I/Os per Second (DIOCHRT)
This 74-column chart displays the average I/O rates of each physical disk drive. It
shows:
