Disc File Block Splits Shares (BLKSPLT)
Disc File Block Splits Shares (BLKSPLT)
This 74-column chart shows which disk files are experiencing the most block splits. It is
ordered by descending block splits (summed over all opens of any given file or
partition), so only the files experiencing block splits are shown. The chart displays:
File name
Number of block splits
Individual share of total block splits and a graph of this share
Cumulative share of total block splits
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 block splits.
Disc File I/O Activity Distribution (DFIODST)
This 74-column chart displays a table of DISCOPEN disk file I/O activity distribution
across volumes and CPUs. Intended as an aid to file balancing, it includes:
CPU number
A CPU’s contribution to systemwide cache hits/disk I/Os
Disk volume name
A volume’s contribution to the primary CPU’s cache hits/disk I/Os
Disk file/partition subvolume and file name
