SOS NFS Summary

The NFS Summary Screen

The NFS Summary screen displays information about the network file system (NFS). A system can be a server (a system that provides its local disks to other systems), a client (a system that uses non-local disks), or both.

NFS SUMMARY

Table 19.1 SOS NFS SUMMARY data items

Data Item		Description
System		The name of the client or server.
Server	Read (/s)	The number of read calls per second from NFS clients to this system acting as a server.
	Write (/s)	The number of write calls per second from NFS clients to this system acting as a server.
	SvcTm	The number of milliseconds required to service a NFS request as a server during the current interval.
Client	Read (/s)	The number of read calls per second made from this system to NFS servers.
	Write (/s)	The number of write calls per second made from this system to NFS servers.
	SvcTm	The number of milliseconds required to service a NFS request as a client during current interval (this could also be thought of as NFS response time).
	NetwkTm	The number of milliseconds required to service a NFS request, not including local processing time (this is "Client SvcTime" less any local overhead). This number is more of a reflection of network and remote server overhead.
