AIOServer process question
Hi
I've been trying to learn a bit more about AIOServer processes and how my company administers them, one question i have is, while checking, most of my servers show a memory overhead of about 448 k per aioserver process (nmon -A) however i have found a few with figures of 67 or 56k. Most servers are running 5.3 tl 10 with a few running 6.1 but this isnt connected to the differences.
While the majority are 448 is this a configurable value ?, if so is there any documentation or advice on what affect the size has on the processes performance ?
Cheers all
Phil

So is there a command that could remove certain columns from a file? :(

I am an Oracle DBA with some strange IO performance problems.
Between 04:00 and 06:00 AM local time each day I see a degrading of
IO performance (to a SAN).
I see that the AIX diagnostics seem to begin at 04:00.
Is it likely that AIX diagnostics might be affecting IO?

nibindd
NIBINDD(8) System Manager's Manual NIBINDD(8)
NAME
nibindd - NetInfo binder
SYNOPSIS
nibindd
DESCRIPTION
The nibindd daemon is responsible for finding, creating and destroying NetInfo (netinfod(8)) servers. When it starts up, it reads the
directory /etc/netinfo for directories with the extension ``.nidb'' and starts up a netinfod server for each NetInfo database it finds. If
nibindd is sent a hangup signal, SIGHUP, it kills all running netinfod processes and rebinds the NetInfo domain hierarchy (note that this
does not affect the connections established by lookupd(8)). This is useful for getting the system to conform to new network configuration
changes without rebooting. nibindd writes a file with its process ID number (pid file) in /var/run/nibindd.pid.
The nibindd daemon will automatically destroy the registration for a netinfod server if it disappears for any reason. It will take the
netinfod servers down if it is shut down by sending it a terminate signal, SIGTERM.
nidomain(8) is the user interface to nibindd.
