ooooppppssssvvvviiiieeeewwww demonstrates capabilities of the Performance Metrics Collection
System (PMCS) to drive visualization tools. While the application was
written specifically to monitor a pair of Challenge systems running the
Oracle Parallel Server (OPS) software, it can provide an interesting
display even for a single workstation.
On startup ooooppppssssvvvviiiieeeewwww displays a three dimensional model of two Challenge
systems sharing one or more common SCSI buses with attached disks and/or
RAID5 devices, one private FDDI network connection and a public Ethernet
connection. One of the machines is designated as the red machine (front
panel host name red), the other green (front panel host name green).
These two primary colors are used to display data about the corresponding
machine as detailed below.
The scene is displayed within an Inventor examiner viewer. This viewer
allows the user to interactively change the view of the object by click-
dragging the left and middle mouse buttons in the 3D window or using the
various controls along the window border (e.g. zoom). This application
also allows the user to pick various objects within the scene for a more
detailed view of performance within a subsystem. Picking mode is
indicated by an arrow shaped cursor, and performed by clicking the left
mouse button. For generic control of the viewer, see iiiivvvvvvvviiiieeeewwww(1).
The following elements of the scene are driven by live performance data
fetched from the two machines:
CCCCPPPPUUUU: The multi-colored horizontal bar at top front and back faces of both
machines is a thumbnail ggggrrrr____oooossssvvvviiiieeeewwww(1) type display of total CPU
utilization. If you select this region mmmmppppvvvviiiissss(1) is launched to
provide a more detailed per-CPU view.
MMMMeeeemmmmoooorrrryyyy:
A two colored rectangular region at the bottom front and back faces
of both machines is a thumbnail mmmmeeeemmmmvvvviiiissss(1) (or ggggmmmmeeeemmmmuuuussssaaaaggggeeee(1)) type
display of physical memory use. If you select this region mmmmeeeemmmmvvvviiiissss(1)
(or ggggmmmmeeeemmmmuuuussssaaaaggggeeee(1)) is launched allowing a very detailed examination
of memory use.
PPPPuuuubbbblllliiiicccc----EEEEtttthhhheeeerrrrnnnneeeetttt:
The brightness and color of the ethernet cable is determined by the
number of bytes processed by the ethernet interfaces of the two
machines. Green (red) color is modulated by packets on the green
(red) machine respectively. You can select the ethernet cable or

OOOOPPPPSSSSVVVVIIIIEEEEWWWW((((1111)))) OOOOPPPPSSSSVVVVIIIIEEEEWWWW((((1111))))
its label to launch two instances of ggggrrrr____oooossssvvvviiiieeeewwww(1) to display per-
protocol network traffic and per-interface network traffic on the
two machines.
PPPPrrrriiiivvvvaaaatttteeee----FFFFDDDDDDDDIIII:
The brightness and color of the FDDI cable is determined by the
number of bytes sent and received by the FDDI interface of the two
machines. Green (red) color is modulated by the number of bytes
processed by the green (red) machine respectively. You can select
the FDDI cable or its label to launch two instances of ggggrrrr____oooossssvvvviiiieeeewwww(1)
to display network traffic.
SSSSCCCCSSSSIIII----bbbbuuuusssseeeessss:
SCSI buses (private to each machines and shared by the two machines)
are laid out in the bottom part of the display. Red (green) color
on the vertical buses indicates SCSI I/O on the red (green) machine.
The red-green blend of color on the horizontal buses indicates the
balance of I/O from the two machines.
DDDDiiiisssskkkkssss:
Disks are drawn as cylinders, RAID LUNs as rectangular boxes,
connected to the horizontal SCSI buses. Disk I/O from the red and
green machine are displayed as red and green colored segments. The
number of I/O operations performed determines the size of the
colored segments. You can select a RAID LUN to highlight the other
LUNs that make up the RAID5 system of which that LUN is a part.
OOOOrrrraaaacccclllleeee:
If indeed you are running OPS software, you can select the Oracle
Parallel Server banner text to bring up two instances of ppppmmmmcccchhhhaaaarrrrtttt(1)
to display interesting OPS performance data from the two machines.
The identity of the two machines, the performance metrics used, various
display parameters (scaling and colors) and the actions to be performed
when parts of the scene are picked are specified in the _c_o_n_f_i_g file.
Most commonly, the _c_o_n_f_i_g file would be created using the _C_o_n_f_i_g_u_r_e
script in the ooooppppssssvvvviiiieeeewwww setup directory, /_v_a_r/_p_c_p/_d_e_m_o_s/_o_p_s_v_i_e_w. When the
_C_o_n_f_i_g_u_r_e script has been run, a default configuration file for ooooppppssssvvvviiiieeeewwww
is placed in /_v_a_r/_p_c_p/_d_e_m_o_s/_o_p_s_v_i_e_w/_d_e_f_a_u_l_t._c_o_n_f_i_g.
The ----nnnn flag can be used to specify that an alternative Performance
Metrics Name Space (PMNS) be loaded from the file _n_a_m_e_s_p_a_c_e.
The ----tttt option may be used to change the update rate to once every _d_e_l_t_a
seconds - the default is once per second.
If the ----ssss the option is specified, _s_a_m_p_l_e_s defines the number of times
the performance metrics are to be fetched and the display refreshed. If
_s_a_m_p_l_e_s is 0 or ----ssss is not specified, ooooppppssssvvvviiiieeeewwww will sample and display
continuously - this is the default behaviour.
