Using the crash(ADM) diagnostic tool

Examining use of STREAMS resources

You can use the strstat command of crash(ADM) to study how STREAMS resources are being used on the system. The output of this command is similar to that produced using the command netstat -m as described in the Performance Guide.

The following is an example of output from strstat:

> strstat

Count of scheduled queues:   0
Number of unallocated pages: 466
Buffer splitting threshold: 80
Size of the interrupt pool: 20
Streams daemon (strd) flags:
The CONFIG column shows the total number of each resource that was configured for use, and MAX is the maximum number that have been allocated at any one time.

ALLOC is the number that are currently allocated, and TOTAL is the total number that have been used since the system was booted.

FAIL is the number of times that a resource was unavailable since the system was booted. Since data blocks are dynamically allocated from the memory reserved for use by STREAMS, you should not expect to see any value other than 0 in the this column.

See the Performance Guide for more information about examining and tuning STREAMS resources.
