Figure 7-1 xclus Display for Itanium Systems

Each icon shows data for one node. By default, xclus or xcxclus displays one icon for each
node if it is monitoring fewer than 64 nodes; otherwise each icon represents a group of nodes
with similar performance statistics, as described in

“Viewing Grouped Nodes” (page 92)

.

Each node icon has rectangle and arrow subareas for different system statistics. Most statistics
are utilization statistics, shown as a percentage of the total resource utilization. The subareas are
color coded according to the value of the current statistic, and are updated once a second by
default. The key for the color coding is at the bottom of the window.

By default, xclus displays enhanced (processor-dependent) information and the icons and
statistics shown in each subarea vary according to the type of processor monitored. By default,
xcxclus

displays generic (processor-independent) information that is the same for all node

types. The statistics for the different node displays are described in
