[Just starting out with DTrace and was hoping to get some guidance.] I have a "benchmark" program that I monitored with both prstat (prstat -mL -P <PID>) and pfilestat (from the DTrace toolkit). Prstat reports LAT values in the 0.1-0.2% range, but pfilestat reports "waitcpu" values in the 6-10%. Since those two numbers supposedly represent time waiting for the CPU, I''m wondering why they are so differen...

...0 926 1033 26 9405 927 2480 7413 0 12216 68 25 0 8 This is complicated by the fact that there are a number of PIDs of interest running on the server.... Extra credit question... Why would a particular process when run alone (like mshttpd) show heavy usage with mpstat, but under prstat, no cpu usage appear? 17990 ? 0:00 webservd 17991 ? 0:48 webservd 17992 ? 13:17 webservd 18004 ? 0:00 webservd 18005 ? 0:49 webservd 18006 ? 609:23 webservd 18024 ? 0:00 watcher 18025 ? 0:13 enpd 18026 ?...

Folks, Perplexing question about load average display with prstat -Z Solaris 10 OS U4 (08/07) We have 4 zones with very different processes and workloads.. The prstat -Z command issued within each of the zones, correctly displays the number of processes and lwps, but the load average value looks exactly the same on all non-global zones..I mean all 3 values (1,5...

hello! First of all thank you for all your information you give us on this sites. It is a great help to learn for example dtrace. i''ve a little script in work, which shows the cpu utilization per process in percent. this output is refreshed every 2 seconds for example. now i want to extend this script with the output of the allocated bytes of memory per process. how could i display this

...prompting for user or password. Machine responds to ping. NFS drops. snv_113, this has occurred since the RAID-Z2 was created (b102). I have no idea how to instrument this, as it doesn''t appear to be panicking, or running out of RAM (as far as I can see from the last responses of top and prstat), and I don''t know how to ask dtrace about where I''m mostly spending my time. I read one or two guides, but I don''t follow how the output of it is meaningful. I''m sending this to zfs-discuss as I can''t replicate this problem unless I''m doing he...

Hello, Using one of Brendan''s dtrace script prusage and prstat, I was able to find the process that is consuming high cpu. I also have a test case that can trigger this high cpu usage. Questions are a) how do I proceed from here? b) how do I figure out which thread is using this high cpu? c) how do I figure out which piece of code is causing this problem? Tha...

I have a SunRay server that I am looking at to determine some sizing requirements in my department. The machine has 16G of ram and 10G of swap. Currently, I have about 4G of swap used. I am wondering if dtrace/mdb can be used to find out what lwp/processes have been swapped out? Any hints? This message posted from opensolaris.org

...ve the following in my upssched.conf: CMDSCRIPT /usr/local/ups/sbin/upssched-cmd AT ONBATT * EXECUTE onbatt The problem I have is that is seems like the script in CMDSCRIPT never gets executed. If I replace the script with an executable, the executable never gets executed. While looking in the prstat window, I see the program upssched get executed like it is suppose to but whatever I have in the CMDSCRIPT never seems like it runs. I have tried this with version 2.0.3 and 2.0.0. This is using Solaris on a Sun. Any suggestions? Thanks Ron -------------- next part -------------- An HTML atta...

I am looking for Dtrace scripts that can be used to collect data during performance tests. I am especially interested in IO but CPU, memory, threads, etc are needed as well. Thanks, Dave

I've finally got it to work, kind of .. It should allow you to log in, but several settings don't work yet and there are probably many bugs. Anyway, I thought I'd show this already in case someone is interested of looking how it works :) One thing I'm still wondering a bit is if I should show process names as: 32602 pts/19 S 0:00 dovecot/config 32603 pts/19 S

Last April we put this in /etc/system on a T2000 server with large ZFS filesystems: set pg_contig_disable=1 This was while we were attempting to solve a couple of ZFS problems that were eventually fixed with an IDR. Since then, we''ve removed the IDR and brought the system up to Solaris 10 10/09 with current patches. It''s stable now, but seems slower. This line was a

Hi all, I have exchanged my Dell R610 in favor of a Sun Fire 4170 M2 which has 32 GB RAM installed. I am running Sol11Expr on this host and I use it to primarily serve Netatalk AFP shares. From day one, I have noticed that the amount of free RAM decereased and along with that decrease the overall performance of ZFS decreased as well. Now, since I am still quite a Solaris newbie, I seem to

Howdy, Is there a method to get the number of elements in an aggregation? Are the results stored in an aggregation guaranteed to be in any type of order? Thanks for any insight, - Ryan -- UNIX Administrator http://daemons.net/~matty

Does anyone out there have any thoughts on the type of load common DTrace scripts would cause on a system if run 24x7? I know "common DTrace scripts" and their underlining probe calls a vague statement. So for the lack of a common and establish set of scripts in the OS, I''ll use the most popular right for my question...the DTraceToolkit from Brendan Gregg. Which by the

I didn''t find any clear answer in the documentation, so here it goes: I''ve got a 4-device RAIDZ array in a pool. I then add another RAIDZ array to the pool. If one of the arrays fails, would all the data on the array be lost, or would it be like disc spanning, and only the data on the failed array be lost? Thanks in advance.
