Finding process CPU, I/O, memory usage, etc

[new2unix]

Hi,

There are a number of process contstantly running on our AIX server and I would like to determine the system resources in use by each of these process. Basically, I need to determine which one(s) maybe the heavy system resource or I/O hitter. What would be a good combination of AIX commands to accomplish this type of performance study?

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

The AIX command topas can be used to see what is using system resources. Also, check out this FAQ in the AIX forum for other commands that might help you: faq52-3180.

There is a good top-like utility for AIX available here:
