Component Monitoring - IBM Power Systems 775 Manual

3.1 Component monitoring

This section describes the available monitoring commands for each specific component that
is used in the IBM Power Systems 775 AIX and Linux HPC solution, as shown in Table 3-2 on
page 160. Some of these command outputs are analyzed and discussed to determine
whether the system is experiencing a problem. If problems are persisting, the actions to take
are described in Chapter 4, "Troubleshooting problems" on page 243.
For monitoring the IBM Power Systems 775 cluster, all of the highlighted commands in
Table 3-2 on page 160 include examples and detailed command descriptions. For more
information about monitoring, see the component document links in Table 3-1.
