Hi,
Tell me how much is the swap space you assigned and also you can
use below commands to trace out the cause of such huge I/O.Also are
using SAN or local storage?.I don't think so you need explanation for
below commands.Run all the commands and redirect it to some file and
send it to the list.
Normally there is no need to fine tune any parameter to upgrade
memory on centos 4.7 32 bit, because i am running centos production
with 8GB of physical memory but with only 4GB of swap space(not twice
the physical ram normaly people use causing huge I/O while using swap
memmory because system have to read cylinders and tracks of 8GB takes
long time compared to 4GB of swap space)
while true ; do (ps -eo pcpu,pid,user,args |sort -k1 -r |head -10 >>
/root/sys-reports/top10-cpu-utilzn) ; sleep 2 ; done
sar -u 2 10000000 > /root/sys-reports/sar.txt
mpstat -P ALL 5 | tee mpstat.txt
top -b -i |tee top.txt
vmstat -m 5 > vmstat.txt
iostat -x 5 >> iostat.txt
Regards,
pap
