Monitor Blobs in a Blobspace
Monitor Blobs in a Blobspace
DB-Monitor measures blobspace availability by providing the number of
used disk pages in the chunk. The tbstat -d display attempts to describe the
the number of blobpages used. The tbcheck -pB display provides the most
accurate assessment of current blobspace storage efficiency.
From DB-Monitor
From DB-Monitor, select the Status menu, Spaces option.
The first screen display lists the blobspace ID number, the name of the
blobspace, the number of assigned chunks, and the mirroring status of the
blobspace. If an asterisk appears next to the Mirror field, one of the chunks
in this blobspace is down. Select the blobspace that you want to monitor.
The second screen display lists the following chunk information for each
dbspace:
Chunk ID
Chunk pathname and offset
Mirror status flags
Pages in the chunk
Number of used disk pages in the chunk
If a chunk is mirrored, both the primary chunk and the mirror chunk shared
the same chunk ID number.
The chunk status flags are defined as follows:
Flag Description
- Chunk belongs to a dbspace.
B Chunk belongs to a blobspace.
D Chunk is down, no reads or writes can occur.
M Mirror chunk.
O Chunk is online.
