vmstat
The vmstat command is useful for obtaining an overall picture of CPU, paging, and memory usage.

$ vmstat 5 2
System Configuration: lcpu=2 mem=8192MB
kthr memory page faults cpu
----- ----------- ------------------------ ------------ -----------
r b avm fre re pi po fr sr cy in sy cs us sy id wa
1 1 287340 317 0 0 0 124 261 0 265 261 122 2 0 97 0
0 0 287344 313 0 0 0 0 0 0 228 491 76 0 0 99 0

Remember that the first report from the vmstat command displays cumulative activity since the last system boot. The second report shows activity for the first 5-second interval.

iostat
The iostat command is the fastest way to get a first impression, whether or not the system has a disk I/O-bound performance problem. This tool also reports CPU statistics.

Flags -a Specifies adapter throughput report.
-d Specifies drive report only.
-m Specifies statistics for paths.
-t Specifies tty/cpu report only.
-z Resets the disk input/output statistics.

svmon
The svmon command provides a more in-depth analysis of memory usage. It is more informative, but also more intrusive, than the vmstat and ps commands. The svmon command captures a snapshot of the current state of memory.
The memory consumption is reported using the inuse, free, pin, virtual and paging space counters.

• The inuse counter represents the number of used frames.
• The free counter represents the number of free frames from all memory pools.
• The pin counter represents the number of pinned frames, that is, frames that cannot be swapped.
• The virtual counter represents the number of pages allocated in the system virtual space.
• The paging space counter represents the number of pages reserved or used on paging spaces.

Flags
-G Global report
-U User report
-P Process report
-i To define intervel and number of intervels. eg. -i 1 5

A memory leak can be detected with the svmon command, by looking for processes whose working segment continually grows. A leak in a kernel segment can be caused by an mbuf leak or by a device driver, kernel extension, or even the kernel. To determine if a segment is growing, use the svmon command with the -i option to look at a process or a group of processes and see if any segment continues to grow.

filemon
The filemon command monitor a trace for file system and IO system events and reports performance statistics for files, virtual memory segments, logical volumes and physical volumes. filemon is useful to those whose applications are believed to be disk-bound and want to know where and why.
filemon command shows the load on different disks, logical volumes and files in a great detail.
trcstop command is used to stop the filemon monitoring.
The syntax of filemon command is

filemon [-o output_file] [-O levels] [-u] [-v]
-O [lv | pv | vm | If | all ]
(If - Logical file level, vm - Virtual memory level, lv - lv level)
-u Reports on files that were opened prior to the start of the trace daemon

If the output file is not specified, the output is sent to standard output.
To start the filemon monitoring for 1 min.

# filemon -uo filemon.out -O all ; sleep 60; trcstop

To find out the most active Logical Volumes

# awk '/Most Active Logical Volumes/,/^$/' filemon.out
Most Active Logical Volumes-------------------------------------------------

To find out most active Files

# awk '/Most Active Files/,/^$/' filemon.out

To find out most active physical Volumes

# awk '/Most Active Physical Volumes/,/^$/' filemon.out

rmss
The rmss command provides you with a means to simulate different sizes of real memory that are smaller than your actual machine, without having to extract and replace memory boards or reconfigure memory using logical partitions.
To change the memory size to 500 MB

# rmss -c 500
Simulated memory size changed to 500 Mb.

To reset the memory size to the real memory size of the machine, enter:

# rmss -r

To get your wwn at your Solaris machine, you can use this command

bash> prtpicl -v | grep wwn
:node-wwn      50  01  04  f0  00  5f  0a  85
:port-wwn      50  01  04  f0  00  5f  0a  83
:node-wwn    50  06  0e  80  04  2a  b0  04

or

bash> luxadm -e port
/devices/ssm@0,0/pci@18,700000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0:devctl            CONNECTED
/devices/ssm@0,0/pci@18,700000/SUNW,qlc@1/fp@0,0:devctl            CONNECTED

Power on

PDC executes CPU, Memory and other tests

PDC initialize the console to display messages

Looks for Primary boot path

It loads and executes Initial System Loader (ISL). Roll of boot ROM ends.

ISL loads the secondary system loader called "hpux". It resides on boot area of the disk

"hpux" loads "/stand/vmunix" into memory and hands control over to kernel

Kernel loads the device drivers

Swapper process started. It has process ID 0. It manages memory for swapping in and out. It schedules all other process. Its first job is to startup the init process.

/sbin/pre_init_rc getting executed. It checks and repairs root file system.

/sbin/init started. Process ID is 1.

It refers /etc/inittab. It does the following.
1. read the /etc/inittab for default run level
2. ioinitrc - It invokes insf command with -e option to find any new devices.
3. bcheckrc - activates LVM and run fsck on file systems if required.
4. /sbin/rc - It brings the system to the default run level. This script is run whenever the system moves from to a higher one or vice versa.
5. /usr/bin/getty

To add a program to the startup time:

1. Execution script for starting and stopping is installed in /sbin/init.d directory
2. Configuration files are placed in /etc/rc.config.d directory
3. If script is to be run on run level 2, place a link to the execution script at /sbin/rc2.d directory

HP-UX boot disk has a boot area. The files in this area are in the LIF format.
Important parts of the boot area are

1. ISL: Initial program loader
2. hpux: Secondary system loader
3. AUTO: contains hpux utility name and arguments to be passed to the hpux utility
4. LIF volume header that identifies LIF volume
5. File containing hp-ux volume name

ISL Commands:

ISL> hpux show autofile # To view the contents of AUTO file

ISL> hpux -is boot # To boot the system in the single user mode

ISL> hpux -lq boot # To ignore quorum and boot

ISL> hpux -lm boot # To boot in the maintenance mode

ISL> hpux -ll /stand # To list the files in the /stand directory

HPUX Commands:

setboot command is used to view or change the boot path in a running system
To set the primary path to scsi.1.0 and auto boot on

# setboot -p scsi.1.0 -b on

To create an area on the boot disk for a LIF volume, boot utilities and BDRA

# pvcreate -B /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0

To place the boot utilities on the boot disk:

# mkboot /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0

To add an AUTO file in boot area:

# mkboot -a "hpux (52.3.0;0)/stand/vmunix" /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0

To List the contents of LIF volume

# lifls -l /dev/dsk/c0t0d0

lifcp command is used to copy files to or from the LIF volume
To copy the contents of AUTO file to file1

# lifcp /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0:AUTO file1 # Copies the contents of AUTO file to file1.
