Compare LIM load thresholds

About this task

Tune LIM load thresholds, compare the output of lsload to the thresholds reported by lshosts -l.

Procedure

Run lshosts -l
Run lsload
The lsload and lsmon commands display an asterisk * next to each load index that exceeds its threshold.

Example

Consider the following output from lshosts -l and lsload:

lshosts -l
HOST_NAME:  hostD 
... 
LOAD_THRESHOLDS: 
     r15s   r1m  r15m   ut   pg    io   ls   it   tmp   swp   mem 
     -      3.5  -      -    15    -    -    -    -     2M    1M 
 
HOST_NAME:  hostA 
... 
LOAD_THRESHOLDS: 
     r15s   r1m  r15m   ut   pg    io   ls   it   tmp   swp   mem 
     -      3.5  -      -    15    -    -    -    -     2M    1M
 
lsload  
HOST_NAME status r15s  r1m  r15m   ut    pg   ls  it  tmp  swp  mem 
hostD     ok     0.0   0.0  0.0    0%    0.0  6   0   30M  32M  10M 
hostA     busy   1.9   2.1  1.9    47%  *69.6 21  0   38M  96M  60M

In this example, the hosts have the following characteristics:

hostD is ok.
hostA is busy, the pg (paging rate) index is 69.6, above the threshold of 15.
