Maintenance & Analysis
![Page 2: Cosc 4750 Maintenance & Analysis. Maintenance Contracts Annual cost of 10%-12% of component’s list price. On-site maintenance –usually within 24-48 hours](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082818/56649f145503460f94c28964/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Maintenance Contracts
• Annual cost of 10%-12% of component’s list price.
• On-site maintenance– usually within 24-48 hours a vendor’s tech will come
out and fix the problem.
• “parts & care”– Vendor will send you a replacement for the “broken”
part, you put it in and send the old part back.

• Warranties– usually good for 1 to 3 years– normally a “parts & care” contract– Some company offering on-site service as well

Board Handling lore
• static electricity– electronics are sensitive to static shock– Should use a grounding strap on the wrist when
working with electronics
• Reseating boards– Sometimes, the a board works it way loose or
loses contact, so you reseat a board.– Also, wiggling a board will help as well.
• See demo in class

• Monitors– Do NOT attempt to fix them yourself.– Holds an electric charge that can seriously hurt
or kill you.

Preventive Maintenance
• Computers should cleaned regularly.– Normally, mid spring– Either vacuumed or blown clean– boards reseated or wiggled– Don’t lubricate fans or parts. Simply replace
them.

Environment• Temperature
– between 60 to 70oF– Above 80 ambient temperatures means about 120 inside the
computer. – Also kept computers out of direct sunlight
• Humidity– about 45% is best
• A/C can help to kept both in check.• Beware of your power drain by computers and UPS. You
can cause local low power to your computers.– one study estimated that 13% of electrical power in use is
consumed by computers.

Performance and Analysis
• UNIX will give each process an illusion of infinite resources
• When UNIX runs out, it will work hard to maintain the illusion, but the system usually comes to a halt.
![Page 10: Cosc 4750 Maintenance & Analysis. Maintenance Contracts Annual cost of 10%-12% of component’s list price. On-site maintenance –usually within 24-48 hours](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082818/56649f145503460f94c28964/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Collect and review data on the system– What is the average CPU usage and memory
usage. – When a problem happens you can find out why
more easily.– When adding a new application, check with the
vendor for average cpu and memory usage.• Can you machine handle it?
![Page 11: Cosc 4750 Maintenance & Analysis. Maintenance Contracts Annual cost of 10%-12% of component’s list price. On-site maintenance –usually within 24-48 hours](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082818/56649f145503460f94c28964/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Improving performance
• Turn off unused or un-necessary programs and daemons
• Adding more memory is a good idea.
• Attempt to correct usage problems– Have huge processes run over night– balance the system load with another machine
if possible.
![Page 12: Cosc 4750 Maintenance & Analysis. Maintenance Contracts Annual cost of 10%-12% of component’s list price. On-site maintenance –usually within 24-48 hours](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082818/56649f145503460f94c28964/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Reorganize/organize hard drives for better use– Move hard drives around, put them on separate
controllers.
• Monitor network usage– with netstat or other programs– If you network traffic is above 80%, you are in
trouble.
![Page 13: Cosc 4750 Maintenance & Analysis. Maintenance Contracts Annual cost of 10%-12% of component’s list price. On-site maintenance –usually within 24-48 hours](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082818/56649f145503460f94c28964/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Analyzing CPU usage
• vmstat and/or sar– lists obtain summary information about cpu
usage.– sar –u 5 5
• lists percentage of cpu time on user code, kernel code, and idle.
– vmstat shows similar information and page faults and memory information.
![Page 14: Cosc 4750 Maintenance & Analysis. Maintenance Contracts Annual cost of 10%-12% of component’s list price. On-site maintenance –usually within 24-48 hours](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082818/56649f145503460f94c28964/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• uptime– shows system up time and load averages for 1,
5, and 10 minutes (or 5,10, and 15 minutes)
– A lot average double the number of CPU’s in the computer is when the system will begin to fail.
![Page 15: Cosc 4750 Maintenance & Analysis. Maintenance Contracts Annual cost of 10%-12% of component’s list price. On-site maintenance –usually within 24-48 hours](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082818/56649f145503460f94c28964/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
memory usage
• swap (sun, sgi), swapinfo (hp-UX), swapon –s (redhat), pstat –s (freeBSD)– display swap space, free, total, and used.
• vmstat 5 5– displays processes: running, blocked I/O, and
swapped out.

Disk I/O
• iostat 5 5– displays tty activity, each harddrive, nfs, and
cpu activity.
• iostat –D 5 5– display percentage of use
![Page 17: Cosc 4750 Maintenance & Analysis. Maintenance Contracts Annual cost of 10%-12% of component’s list price. On-site maintenance –usually within 24-48 hours](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082818/56649f145503460f94c28964/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Redhat Performance data
• procinfo provides a summary of system performance information in a more readable form.
• procinfo –f info and updates every 5 seconds.
![Page 18: Cosc 4750 Maintenance & Analysis. Maintenance Contracts Annual cost of 10%-12% of component’s list price. On-site maintenance –usually within 24-48 hours](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082818/56649f145503460f94c28964/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
quick fixes
• use top or ps to find runaway processes or “power users”, when the system is very slow.
• Can use a command called limit– limit memoryuse 32m– All subsequent commands can only use 32m of
physical memory.
