ENTRIES controls the default value of the ENTRIES option for the PB
command.
SET MAXINPUTS | MAXIOS | MAXOUTPUTS | MAXRCVQ | MAXSWAPS sets
the normalization value for respective PB command BY... options. The is used
with the PB command BY... options to determine the respective BY option percentage
normalization. The following is an explanation of each MAX.. option...
SET MaxInputs default max value is 100 Inputs / second
SET MaxOutputs default max value is 100 Outputs / second
SET MaxIOs default max value is 100 IOs / second
SET MaxRcvQ default max value is 100 for receive queue
SET MaxSwaps default max value is 100 Swaps / second
A judicious choice for max provides the following advantages:
Example 1: SET MaxInputs 100 shows 99 inputs/sec as 99.00%.
Example 2: SET MaxInputs 10000 shows 9001 inputs/sec as 90.01%.
In both examples above, the digits in the percentage represent the actual count of
Inputs, IOs, Outputs, RcvQ, or Swaps because of the way that RPM calculates and
normalizes these statistics. Also note that by normalizing these values; SET INFO,
WARN, and CRIT thresholds do not need to be changed.
ObeyEscape ON|OFF controls behavior of interactive commands encountered in an
OBEY file. ON implies interactive commands such as CPU and PB will 'escape' from the
OBEY file, eg when ObeyEscape is ON, interactive commands end the obey file steam.
If ObeyEScape is ON and BREAK is pressed, the program will prompt for additional
commands. If ObeyEscape is OFF and BREAK is pressed a TACL prompt appears.
Pausing TACL will cause RPM to continue.
PAGECLEAR ON|OFF applies to the ZOOM command only and is ON by default. When
ON the ZOOM command always does a clear to end of page after the last line output.
PAGECLEAR OFF indicates do not do a clear to end of page unless BUSYCPU or
BUSYPB is specified. It is recommended you not turn this option OFF with T6530s.
SORT ByCpu | ByNode - controls the display order of the top busiest processes.
ByCpu displays busiest processes in each Cpu. ByNode displays the busiest processes
across all Cpus in each node in one list of processes sorted from busiest to least busy
processes. If you do not specify this option, the busiest processes are listed ByNode.
You can globally control this option with the SET SORT ByCpu | ByNode option.
RATE controls the default value of the RATE option for
