Logical Disc File I/O Wait Shares (LDFIOWT)
•
The date and time of the measurement taken
•
The system measured
•
The numbers and types of CPUs
•
The total, average, low, and high values for key performance metrics
This chart uses the GLOBINFO entity.
Parameters used are:
•
LID—specifies the Measure Load ID
•
SECTION—specifies the report section number
Logical Disc File I/O Wait Shares (LDFIOWT)
This 74-column chart provides a overview of logical disk file I/O wait time distribution. It
is ordered by descending file busy time (summed over all opens of any given logical
disk file), so the files on which applications spend the longest time waiting are at the
top of the list. The chart displays:
•
File name
•
Logical I/Os per second
•
Flags for nonzero lock waits
