Dear ccmp'ers:
For a while now, I noticed that my vaxstation 4000/60 with
OpenVMS 7.2 had become sluggish, but I had not had the
time to investigate the problem. The system is mostly
idle, RAM is mostly free (there's 32mb), there is almost
no paging, but the CPU is spending upwards of 70% of the
time in the interrupt stack mode. Currently, I am running
it headless because I have not had the time to fix the
monitor (it still has the framebuffer inside, but this
sluggishness issue was present before with the monitor
attached). I have read that this can be caused by "faulty
i/o devices that interrupt the cpu continuously". What
else can be done to locate the source of the problem?
Check for disk
fragmentation?
