[4]RESOURCE>>
The column after the maximum allowable usage is an indication of
actual usage that may point to over-utilization of a resource. The “:(”
indicates normal usage, and the “:)” indicates possible overutilization of
a resource. In this example, item 7 shows an indication of
overutilization. You could use the verbose mode to obtain a detailed
display of that item’s resource usage.
To Get a Detailed Display
1. While still in the RESOURCE menu, enter detail to toggle the
setting of this switch to the detailed mode.
2. Enter ITEM. This will allow you to select the item from the one-line
list that you want to display.
3. Enter the item number. For example, you would enter the number 7
to display item #7. RESOURCE MONITOR will produce the detailed
display.
To Measure Network Performance
You can measure the performance of various aspects of the network,
such as the TCP/IP protocol stack, the UDP/IP protocol stack, or X.25
level 3 direct access, using the XPPERF tool. This tool runs by itself or as
one of the NETTOOL tools. See Chapter 6, “Using NETTOOL,” for
instructions on running this tool using the NETTOOL interface.
