ssa performances

Helo:
We updated form AIX 4.3.3 to AIX 5.1-7 and after this we spent more than double time in read from external disks. Aparently the ssa cards microcode is at last level and all the ptf and apars are instaled.

Out backups expent more than double time, but curiously in read only, if we write in the external disk the performances are correct.

Please, Does anybody know somthing about this?

Thank you
Javier

Procedure for removing SSA array

Hi All, What's the proper procedure for removing SSA arrays? Is the procedure like these? - rmdev ssa disk - physical turn off the ssa - cfgmgr There's no more filesystem or logical volume on it. It's just pdisk and hdisk. Thanks in advance, itik (3 Replies)

RS6000 SSA Raid question

Hi Can I add disks on the fly to extend the capacity of an existing RAID 5 volume? It's created on a 4P Advanced SSA Raid Adapter. I need to extend a volume group, so I figured it would be easiest to extend the "physical disk" which is a RAID5 volume. Thanks. (1 Reply)

I386_PMC_INFO(2)					   BSD/i386 System Calls Manual 					  I386_PMC_INFO(2)

NAME
i386_pmc_info, i386_pmc_startstop, i386_pmc_read -- interface to CPU performance counters LIBRARY
i386 Architecture Library (libi386, -li386) SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <machine/sysarch.h> #include <machine/specialreg.h> int i386_pmc_info(struct i386_pmc_info_args *ia); int i386_pmc_startstop(struct i386_pmc_startstop_args *ssa); int i386_pmc_read(struct i386_pmc_read_args *ra); DESCRIPTION
These functions provide an interface to the CPU performance counters on the 586-class and 686-class processors. i386_pmc_info() will return information about the available CPU counters. The information is returned in ia having the following structure: struct i386_pmc_info_args { int type; int flags; }; The type member describes the class of performance counters available. Valid values are: PMC_TYPE_NONE No PMC support PMC_TYPE_I586 586-class CPUs PMC_TYPE_I686 686-class Intel CPUs PMC_TYPE_K7 686-class AMD CPUs The flags member describes additional capabilities of the processor. Valid values are: PMC_INFO_HASTSC CPU has time-stamp counter i386_pmc_startstop() is used to start and stop the measurement of the CPU performance counters. The argument ssa has the following struc- ture: struct i386_pmc_startstop_args { int counter; uint64_t val; uint8_t event; uint8_t unit; uint8_t compare; uint8_t flags; }; The counter specified by the member counter is started if the member flags has PMC_SETUP_KERNEL or PMC_SETUP_USER set, otherwise the counter is stopped. The initial value of the counter is set to val. Additional values for the flags member are PMC_SETUP_EDGE and PMC_SETUP_INV. The event member specifies some event written to the control register. The unit member specifies the measurement units. The compare member is a mask for the counter. i386_pmc_read() will return information about a specific CPU counter measured during the last measurement period determined by the calling of i386_pmc_startstop(). The information is returned in ra having the following structure: struct i386_pmc_read_args { int counter; uint64_t val; uint64_t time; }; The counter to read should be specified by the counter member. Counters are numbered from 0 to PMC_NCOUNTERS. The value of the counter is returned in the val member. The time since epoch, measured in CPU clock cycles, is returned in the time member. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion zero is returned, otherwise -1 is returned on failure. BSD
