       Cache loaded.

 Extended File Cache Usage

      Shows the use of the Extended File Cache facility on an Alpha
      system.

      1 Allocated        Total amount of system memory in megabytes
                         allocated to the Extended File Cache.

      2 Free             Number of allocated megabytes not currently
                         in use by the cache.

      3 In use           Number of allocated megabytes that contain
                         valid cached data.

      4 Read hit rate    Shows cache read hits as a percentage of
                         read I/Os.

      5 Read I/O count   Total number of read I/Os that have been
                         seen by the cache since the last statistics
                         reset.

      6 Read hit count   Total number of read I/Os that did not
                         perform a physical I/O, because the data
                         for these was found in the cache since the
                         prior statistics reset.

                         VSI OpenVMS System Manager's Manual for
                         additional information.

      11 Percentage      Percentage of read I/Os that occur. For
      Read I/Os          example, a read/write I/O ratio of 100%
                         implies that all were read I/Os.

      12 Write hit rate  (Always zero for Extended File Cache,
                         Version 1.)

      13 Write I/O       Total number of write I/Os that have been

      17 Volume modes    Total number of volumes in each caching
                         state. Note that the initial release of XFC
                         only supports VIOC compatible mode. Future
                         releases will support full mode.

      18 I/O Statistics  Systemwide distribution of I/O sizes
                         (rounded up).

      19 MAX_IO_SIZE     Current setting of the system parameter VCC_
                         MAX_IO_SIZE in blocks. The extended file
                         cache (XFC) will only cache files up to this

 Extended File Cache Usage

      Shows the use of the Extended File Cache facility on an Alpha
      system.

      1 Open files   Number of files that are currently open and
                     cached by the extended file cache on this volume
                     at the instant the SHOW command was issued.

      2 Files ever   Number of times the extended file cache has been
      opened         requested to open a file on this volume.

      3 Allocated    Number of main memory data pages currently
      pages          being used by the extended file cache to contain
                     actual file data, for this volume.

      4 Total QIOs   Total number of QIO and PAGE I/O calls received
                     by the extended file cache on this volume.

      5 Virtual      Cumulative number of Virtual Read requests
      reads          received by the extended file cache on this
                     volume.

      6 Hit rate     Percentage of Total QIOs that were completed
                     by copying data from cache, rather than issuing
                     real I/O to a volume.

      7 Read         Number of Virtual Reads that are capable of
      throughs       being satisfied by the extended file cache.

      8 Read         Number of Virtual Reads that cannot be satisfied
      arounds        by the extended file cache. Reasons for this
                     include the presence of a non-XFC compliant node
                     in an OpenVMS cluster, and the receipt of an I/O
                     that is larger than VCC_MAX_IO_SIZE.

      9 Closed       Number of closed files the extended file cache
      files          has in memory. If a subsequent file access
                     occurs, data will be accessible from main memory
                     rather than having to issue I/O to the real
                     volume.

      10 Files       Files removed from memory. Reasons the extended
      ever deposed   file cache may remove a file from its memory
                     include requests for memory from the rest of
                     the system, and conflicting access modes in a
                     cluster.

      11 Locks       Current number of file access locks that are in
      acquired       use on this volume.

      12 Read hits   Cumulative number of times a read has been
                     satisfied from the data cache.

      13 Virtual     Cumulative number of virtual write I/Os received
      writes         on this volume by the cache.

      14 Read        Cumulative number of times the extended file
      aheads         cache issued read ahead I/Os on this volume
                     after detecting sequential file I/O virtual
                     reads.

      15 Write       Cumulative number of times a virtual write has
      throughs       been capable of modifying cached data.

      16 Write       Cumulative number of times a virtual write has
      arounds        been detected that cannot update data in cache
                     memory.

      17 Average     Average disk I/O response time, including cache
      Disk I/O       hits, in microseconds. Note that on a symmetric
      Response       multiprocessing (SMP) system, the response time
      Time           only includes that of I/Os starting or finishing
                     on the same CPU. Any physical I/Os are ignored.

 Dynamic Memory

      Shows the use of dynamic memory areas consisting of variably
      sized blocks.

      1 Current Size     Current size (in 512-byte pagelets on Alpha
                         ) of each dynamic memory area. For the lock
                         manager display, the unit of measurement is
                         megabytes.

      2 Initial Size     Initial size of nonpaged dynamic memory and
                         the name of the system parameter (NPAGEDYN)
                         that controls this size.

      3 Maximum Size     Maximum size to which nonpaged dynamic
                         memory can grow and the name of the system
                         parameter (NPAGEVIR) that controls this
                         size.

      4 Free Space       Amount of free space in each dynamic memory
                         area.

      5 Space in Use     Amount of space currently allocated from
                         each area.

      6 Largest Block    Size of the largest contiguous area in each
                         pool area.

      7 Smallest Block   Size of the smallest hole (free block) in
                         each pool area.

      8 Free Blocks      Total number of free blocks in each pool
                         area. The size of this number is a measure
                         of pool fragmentation.

      9 Blocks LEQU 64   Number of free blocks that are 64 bytes
                         long or shorter. This number is another
                         measure of pool fragmentation because
                         while allocation of these small blocks is
                         unlikely, they contribute to the allocation
                         time whenever an allocation request is made.

      10 Empty Pages     Number of pages that do not have any packets
                         allocated.

      11 Free Packets    Total number of packets not in use. This
                         number is the sum of free packets from
                         partially used pages and the packets of
                         all Empty Pages.

      12 Hits            Total number of packet allocations.

      13 Misses          Total number of packet allocation requests
                         that could not be satisfied because the
                         number of packets requested were not
                         available. A miss causes dynamic memory
                         to expand by one page to satisfy the packet
                         allocation request.

      14 Expansions      Total number of times that dynamic memory
                         increased by a page to satisfy packet
                         allocation requests.

      15 Packet Size     Packet size of 256 bytes, which is used by
                         the lock manager to hold either a lock block
                         data structure or a resource block data
                         structure.

      16 Lookasides      Total number of memory packets placed
      Free Blocks        on "lookaside lists". If a packet of the
                         correct size is on a lookaside list, it can
                         be allocated very quickly and efficiently,
                         however, it cannot then be used as part of
                         any other size packet. An excess of packets
                         on the lookaside list can be a cause for the
                         inability to allocate other sizes.

      17 Over-limit      Total number of memory packets that exist
      Lookaside Blocks   on "lookaside lists" that are no longer
                         actively used because the SYSGEN parameter
                         PAGED_LAL_SIZE was lowered. These packets
                         will be available for use again if the
                         SYSGEN parameter is increased to include
                         them, or if there was a paged pool shortage
                         and they are reclaimed. If there are no
                         lookaside list packets on these "over-limit"
                         lists then this line will not appear.

 Paging File Usage (in blocks)

      Shows the usage of paging and swapping files.

      1 Swap File Usage  Number of swap files. Begins with an index
                         value of 1 and increases in count.

      2 Paging File      Number of page files. Begins with an index
      Usage              value of 254 and decreases in count.

      3 Total Paging     Total committed page file usage. As in
      File Usage         previous releases, more pages can reside
                         in page-file sections systemwide than would
                         fit into installed page files.
