Viewing System Resource Usage

You can view system resource data and CPU assignments by using the command line or through Sun Cluster Manager. The system resources that you choose to monitor determine the tables and graphs that you can view.

By viewing the output of system resource usage and CPU control, you can do the following:

• Anticipate failures due to the exhaustion of system resources.

• Detect unbalanced usage of system resources.

• Validate server consolidation.

• Obtain information that enables you to improve the performance of applications.

Sun Cluster does not provide advice about the actions to take, nor does it take action for you based on the data that it collects. You must determine whether the data that you view meets your expectations for a service. You must then take action to remedy any observed performance.
