Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> cpu on AIX
I'm working on an AIX (4.3) box which seems to be CPU bound. vmstat and
iostat -t both show idle cpu and iowait at 0%. User and system cpu are about
40/60. While trying to track down the source of this load, I looked at the
%cpu (-o pcpu) of the processes. One process, spawned from an import, was
using about 30% of the cpu. The sum of all pcpu obtained from ps doesn't
break 35-40%. I am assuming that this is user cpu, and that the import
process is using 3/4 of the user cpu. Since the import is io intensive, I am
guessing it is also using a healthy chunk of the system cpu. Is there any
way to track this down? Multiple applications (manned by different teams)
run on the same server, and so the more I can irrefutably nail down, the
better.
Thanks for the help.
