AIX server running very slow
Hello,

All the commands on AIX are running very slow.

Below is few stats but I didn't find any issue in cpu or memory reosurces

Code:
vmstat

System configuration: lcpu=4 mem=6144MB ent=1.00

kthr    memory              page              faults              cpu

All the commands? Can you clarify a little? Slow in what way? Do you want me to debug your issue from the output of two commands without knowing what workload you are running?

Is it oracle queries are slow, opening files, counting to a million or a script that has a 10 minute wait in it?

You have a few possibilities that spring to mind straight away:-
CPU is idle according to the vmstat output, but this is the average since last boot. If you have not had a boot for a while, this figure is less useful. Try vmstat 3 3 and have a look at the output for that. It will give you 3 lines, cumulative average since boot, then the difference after 3 seconds and then the difference a further 3 seconds from the second line. Read the manual page for vmstat and explore the other options to see if that gives you anything.

Still with the vmstat, that shows you are not paging, which is a double edged sword. You performance is not hindered, but you have unused real memory.


The nmon output conflicts with this though. Here, you can see two processes using ~30% CPU each and you are waiting for IO too and paging.

What do these suggest to you?
