This SDA session shows the output of the SHOW LOCK command for several locks. The SHOW RESOURCE command, executed for the last displayed lock, verifies that the lock is in the resource's granted queue, among many other locks given concurrent read (CR) access to the resource. (See Table SDA-21 for a full explanation of the contents of the display of the SHOW RESOURCE command.)

This example of the SHOW LOCK/CACHE command displays the contents of cached lock blocks (LKBs).

SHOW LOGS

Displays information about transaction logs currently open for the node.

Format

SHOW LOGS [/qualifier[,...]]

Qualifier

/DISPLAY=(item [,...])
Specifies the type of information to be displayed. The argument to /DISPLAY can be either a single item or a list. The following items can be specified.

Item Description

ALL All transaction log control structure information. This is the default behavior.

OPENS Transaction log open requests.

READS Transaction log read requests.

WRITES Transaction log write requests.

Item	Description
ALL	All transaction log control structure information. This is the default behavior.
OPENS	Transaction log open requests.
READS	Transaction log read requests.
WRITES	Transaction log write requests.

Example


SDA> SHOW LOGS/DISPLAY=(OPENS, WRITES)

The SHOW LOGS command displays the log open request and log write request information for all open transaction logs for the node.

SHOW PAGE_TABLE

Displays a range of system page table entries, the entire system page table, or the entire global page table.

Format

SHOW PAGE_TABLE [/qualifier[,...]] [range]

Parameter

range
Range of virtual addresses for which SDA is to display page table entries. You can express a range using the following format:

m:n Range of virtual addresses from m to n

m;n Range of virtual addresses starting at m and continuing for n bytes

Qualifiers

/GLOBAL
Lists the global page table.
/SYSTEM
Lists the system page table.
/ALL
Lists both the global and system page tables. This is the default behavior of SHOW PAGE_TABLE.

Description

For each virtual address displayed by the SHOW PAGE_TABLE command, the first six columns of the listing provide the associated page table entry and describe its location, characteristics, and contents (see Table SDA-16). SDA obtains this information from the system page table.
If the virtual page has been mapped to a physical page, the last nine columns of the listing include information from the page frame number (PFN) database (see Table SDA-17). Otherwise, the section is left blank.
SDA indicates pages are inaccessible by displaying the following message:
-------- n NULL PAGES
Here, n indicates the number of inaccessible pages.
Table SDA-16 Virtual Page Information in the SHOW PAGE_TABLE Display
Value Meaning

ADDRESS System virtual address that marks the base of the virtual page.

SVAPTE System virtual address of the page table entry that maps the virtual page.

PTE Contents of the page table entry, a longword that describes a system virtual page.

Type Type of virtual page. There are the following eight types:

VALID

PROT Protection code, derived from bits in the PTE, that designates the type of access (read or write, or both) granted to processor access modes (kernel, executive, supervisor, or user).

Bits Letters that represent the setting of a bit or a combination of bits in the PTE. These bits indicate attributes of a page. The following codes are listed:

M

Page is locked into a working set.
K
Owner can access the page in kernel mode.

In this example, the SHOW PFN_DATA command displays the information for the free page list, the modified page list, and the bad page list, and then all of the PFN database, including the first three lists.

SHOW POOL

Displays information about the disposition of paged and nonpaged memory, nonpaged dynamic storage pool, and paged dynamic storage pool.

Format

SHOW POOL [range][/ALL|/FREE|/HEADER|/NONPAGED| /PAGED|/RING_BUFFER|/STATISTICS| /SUMMARY|/TYPE=block-type]

Parameters

range
Range of virtual addresses in pool that SDA is to examine. You can express a range using the following format:

m:n Range of virtual addresses in pool from m to n

m;n Range of virtual addresses in pool starting at m and continuing for n bytes

Qualifiers

/ALL
Displays the entire contents of allocated pool, including the pool lists, nonpaged dynamic storage pool, and paged dynamic storage pool. This is the default behavior of the SHOW POOL command.
/FREE
Displays the entire contents, both allocated and free, of the specified region or regions of pool. You cannot use the /FREE qualifier when you use a range to indicate a region of pool to be displayed.
/HEADER
Displays only the first 16 longwords of each data block found within the specified region or regions of pool.
/NONPAGED
Displays the contents of the nonpaged dynamic storage pool currently in use.
/PAGED
Displays the contents of the paged dynamic storage pool currently in use.
/RING_BUFFER
Displays the contents of the nonpaged pool history ring buffer if pool-checking has been enabled. Entries are displayed in reverse chronological order, that is, the most recent to the least recent. You cannot use this qualifier with any other SHOW POOL qualifier. This qualifier is most useful when analyzing crash dumps; output might not be consistent when used on a running system.
/STATISTICS
Displays usage statistics about each pool list if pool-checking has been enabled. For each list, the following are displayed:

Queue header address
Packet size
Attempts, failures, and deallocations
SDA does not synchronize its access to these last three counters with other CPUs in a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) system. Therefore, the numbers might not add up to what you would expect in a multiprocessor configuration. However, the statistics do provide a good indicator of overall pool activity.

/SUMMARY
Displays only an allocation summary for each specified region of pool.
/TYPE=block-type
Displays the blocks within the specified region or regions of pool that are of the indicated block-type. If SDA finds no blocks of that type in the pool region, it displays a blank screen, followed by an allocation summary of the region.

Description

The SHOW POOL command displays information about the contents of any specified region of pool in an 8-column format. Following are explanations and examples of the contents of the full display.
Column 1 contains the type of control block that starts at the virtual address in pool indicated in column 2. If SDA cannot interpret the block type, it displays a block type of "UNKNOWN." Column 3 lists the number of bytes (in decimal) of memory allocated to the block. The block size is fixed for SRPs, IRPs, and LRPs, and is variable in the paged and nonpaged pools. For example:
Col. 1 Col. 2 Col. 3 ------ -------- ------ CIMSG 80BADE00 208
The remaining columns contain a dump of the contents of the block, in 4-longword intervals, until the block is complete. Columns 4 through 7 display, from right to left, the contents in hexadecimal; column 8 displays, from left to right, the contents in ASCII. If the ASCII value of a byte is not a printing character, SDA displays a period (.) instead. For example:
Col. 4 Col. 5 Col. 6 Col. 7 Col. 8 -------- -------- -------- -------- ---------------- 001000DA 003C0090 0000A900 00036FF0 .o........<.Ú... D9B3001C 00000000 A0B5001D 35E60017 ...5............ 41414141 00000600 65EA0004 00000600 .......e....AAAA 41414141 41414141 41414141 41414141 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
For each region of pool it examines, the SHOW POOL command displays an allocation summary. This 4-column table lists, in column 2, the types of control blocks identified in the region and records the number of each in column 1. The last two columns represent the amount of the pool region occupied by each type of control block: column 3 records the total number of bytes, and column 4 records the percentage. The summary concludes with an indication of the number of bytes used within the particular pool region, as well as the number of bytes remaining. It provides an estimate of the percentage of the region that has been allocated. For example:
Col.1 Col. 2 Col.3 Col. 4 ----- ------- ----- ------ 3 UNKNOWN = 176 (29% 2 CIDG = 288 (48% 1 CIMSG = 144 (24%) Total space used = 608 out of 608 total bytes, 0 bytes left Total space utilization = 100%
