The iSeries™ Navigator
puts all information relating to system status in one place. This makes it
easier for you to monitor how your system is performing, identify potential
trouble areas, and quickly determine what action you need to take to improve
performance.
The System Status window divides the overall system status into six
specific areas:
- General
- This is the CPU elapsed usage percentage, number of active jobs, address
used percentage, system disk pool usage percentage, total jobs on system,
percentages of permanent and temporary addresses used, total disk space, and
system disk pool capacity.
- Jobs
- This is the total number of jobs, number of active jobs, maximum number
of jobs, and the number of active threads.
- Processors
- This is the CPU elapsed usage percentage. (Depending upon your hardware
configuration, you may also see additional information regarding the type
of processor(s), number of processors, processing power, virtual processors,
interactive performance, elapsed shared processor pool usage, and elapsed
uncapped CPU capacity usage.)
- Memory
- This is the total memory (main storage) on your system and a button that
gives you access to the list of active memory pools on the system.
- Disk Space
- This is the total disk space, the system disk pool capacity and usage,
information about the temporary storage used, and buttons that give you access
to more disk status, the list of disk pools on the system, and storage system
values information.
- Addresses
- This is the information about permanent and temporary addresses used,
large (256 MB) permanent and temporary addresses used, and very large (4 GB)
permanent and temporary addresses used.
To view general system status, do the following:
- From iSeries Navigator,
expand My Connections.
- Right-click the server and click System Status.
The System Status window appears. For more information about this
window, see the iSeries Navigator online help.
