At most of the sites where I do Netview installs, the bottom line question
is
whether to get 1GB or 2GB of memory. This has been the case for the last
few
years. Before that the fight was over 256MB vs 512MB :) Be sure to adjust
you
paging space to match the new memory configuration. And for my money,
restricting discovery with negative address ranges remains the most
effective way of improving performance.

Considerations for AIX NetView Server Installation

Hello Everyone.
NV 7.1.3 on AIX 4.3.3. ML10.
I was doing research on memory considerations. I'm sure I need to buy more
memory for my server but I don't know how much.
In the section entitled "Computing Memory Needs based on Object Count", I
noticed the numbers in the Config. Guide have not changed from 6.0 to
7.1.x.
And I'm aware of the java processes to consider as stated in the Release
Notes. My ovwdb cache setting is 35,000. According to the ovobjprint -S
output, the number of objects defined in the database is 23,500.
Here's a list of processes for a typical NetView (native console) user and
vsz of each.
user 18028 /usr/OV/jre/bin/java -jar /usr/OV/jars/virtualdesktop.jar
--logconfig /usr/OV/conf/virtualdesktop-log4j.properties
38408
user 24826 /usr/OV/bin/ipmap
92724
user 38346 /usr/OV/bin/nvevents
4872
user 44964 /usr/OV/bin/collmap
764
user 51694 /usr/OV/bin/dispsub
504
user 59556 rshd
576
user 59940 /usr/OV/bin/backup
772
user 60886 /usr/OV/jre/bin/java -jar /usr/OV/jars/maptreeserver.jar
--logconfig /usr/OV/conf/maptreeserver-log4j.properties 22792
user 66246 /usr/OV/bin/disptec
316
user 89140 ksh /usr/bin/netview
412
user 90408 /usr/OV/bin/ovw
60800
user 93550 /usr/OV/bin/ovhelp
552
I used ps -ef -o user,pid,args,vsz | awk '/user/ && !/awk/' to get the
list.
I used ps-ef -o user,pid,args,vsz | awk '/user/ && !/awk/ {sum +=
$NF}END{print sum}' to get the totals.
The total is 223,492K. The ovw process alone is 60,000K.
Here are my questions:
Are my methods for arriving at these numbers valid?
Should these values in the Config. Guide be updated?
Do these values from my process list seem correct?
How do they compare with other AIX NetView Server installations?
Thanks.
