Poor resourece allocation (multi-user system)
All,
I am an intermediate user, and am running SAS on a nice Solaris machine. However, even when top says that no other programs are running, the machine will only give me 5-7% processor power. Is this a configuration problem with SAS or the way the server is configured? Is there any way I can get more resources without bugging the admin? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Ian

smp_rep_phy_sata
SMP_REP_PHY_SATA(8) SMP_UTILS SMP_REP_PHY_SATA(8)
NAME
smp_rep_phy_sata - invoke REPORT PHY SATA SMP function
SYNOPSIS
smp_rep_phy_sata [--affiliation=AC] [--help] [--hex] [--interface=PARAMS] [--phy=ID] [--raw] [--sa=SAS_ADDR] [--verbose] [--version]
SMP_DEVICE[,N]
DESCRIPTION
Sends a SAS Management Protocol (SMP) REPORT PHY SATA request function to a SMP target. The SMP target is identified by the SMP_DEVICE and
the SAS_ADDR. Depending on the interface, the SAS_ADDR may be deduced from the SMP_DEVICE. With one interface there is one SMP_DEVICE per
machine so the SMP_DEVICE,N syntax is needed to differentiate between HBAs if there are multiple present.
-a, --affiliation=AC
where AC is the affiliation context relative identifier that is placed in request (new in sas2r08). Defaults to 0.
-h, --help
output the usage message then exit.
-H, --hex
output the response in hexadecimal.
-I, --interface=PARAMS
interface specific parameters. In this case "interface" refers to the path through the operating system to the SMP initiator. See
the smp_utils man page for more information.
-p, --phy=ID
phy identifier. ID is a value between 0 and 127. Default is 0.
-r, --raw
send the response to stdout in binary. All error messages are sent to stderr.
-s, --sa=SAS_ADDR
specifies the SAS address of the SMP target device. Typically this is an expander. This option may not be needed if the SMP_DEVICE
has the target's SAS address within it. The SAS_ADDR is in decimal but most SAS addresses are shown in hexadecimal. To give a number
in hexadecimal either prefix it with '0x' or put a trailing 'h' on it.
-v, --verbose
increase the verbosity of the output. Can be used multiple times
-V, --version
print the version string and then exit.
CONFORMING TO
The SMP REPORT PHY SATA function was introduced in SAS-1 . The "Expander change count", "STP I_T nexus loss occurred" and several other
fields were added in SAS-2 .
