Viewing the Cross-Partition panel
To view cross-partition statistics in topas, use the -C flag with the topas command or press the C key from any other panel.
The screen is divided into the following sections:
- The top section displays aggregated data from the partition set to show overall partition, memory, and processor activity. The G key toggles this section between brief listing, detailed listing, and off.
- The bottom section displays the per partition statistics, which are in turn divided into two sections: shared partitions and dedicated partitions. The S key toggles the shared partition section on and off. The D key toggles the dedicated partition section on and off.
The following is a full screen example of the output from the topas -C command:
