Output Description

q name/id

The name and number of the I/O queue. The name indicates what type of queue it is. The number is used to tell queues of the same name apart.

Here is a list of the possible queue names and what each type of queue handles:

sqli_dbg

Handles I/O for IBM Technical Support's SQL Interface Debugging feature

fifo

Handles I/O for FIFO vps

adt

Handles auditing I/O

msc

Handles miscellaneous I/O

aio

Handles IBM Informix asynchronous I/O

kio

Handles kernel AIO

pio

Handles physical logging I/O

lio

Handles logical logging I/O

gfd

Global File Descriptor - Each primary and mirror chunk is given a separate global file descriptor. Individual gfd queues are used depending on whether kaio is on and the associated chunk is cooked or raw.

len

The number of pending I/O requests in the queue

maxlen

The largest number of I/O requests that have been in the queue at the same time

totalops

The total number of I/O operations that have been completed for the queue

dskread

Total number of completed read operations for the queue

dskwrite

Total number of completed write operations for the queue

dskcopy

Total number of completed copy operations for the queue
