John, Thanks for the tip. I've used sar and vmstat, but not in enough depth to have any preferences. So far I don't have permissions for sar at this site, but I should be able to get that.
Henry -----Original Message----- John Kanagaraj Sent: Friday, January 02, 2004 2:29 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Henry, Sar is a better tool than vmstat/iostat as it collects a broad range of information. Specifically, sar -q should show up CPU queueing and swapping, and sar -v will show up file/process table overflow issues that may occur during stress testing. IMHO, sar is quite underutilized....
