Finding throuput of CPU and Hardrive on Solaris
- by Jim
How do I find the throughput of a CPU and the hard disk on an OpenSolaris machine?
Using mpstat or iostat?
I'm having a hard time identifying the throughput if it is given at all in the commands output.
For example, in mpstat there is very little explanation as to what the columns mean.
I've been using the syscl column divided by time interval to find the throughput but to be honest I have no idea what a system call truly is.
I'm trying to to analyze a hardrive and CPU while writing a file to the hardisk and when at rest.
