Processor/Disk Configuration Diagram
The processor/disk configuration diagram represents the physical configuration of the
system and lets you see quickly how the disk processing load is distributed over the
node (Example 4-17 AND Example 4-18).
In the examples for \NODEA and \NODEB, you can see immediately that CPUs 0 and 2,
as the primary processors for all volumes on the node, are carrying virtually the entire
load on each system. And in case of \NODEA (Example 4-17), the diagram shows a
severe memory shortage for CPU 0.

You can also readily tell from the diagram what portion of any given processor‟s total
activity is accounted for by each volume on the processor. In the case of \NODEB, for
example, it is easy to see that volumes $PROD4 and $PROD3, with Disk Cache Calls
request rates of 14 and 9, account for the Disk most activity on their respective
processors.
The configuration diagram also shows the backup path for each volume. In the example,
you can see the direction of the arrowheads that all the volumes with CPU 0 as the
primary processor are backed up on CPU 1 and all volumes with CPU 2 as primary are
backed up on CPU 3.
