These commands are based off of a Solaris 2.8 server. However, most of these commands are universal across the 3 platforms that IBM Cognos supports (AIX, Sun, and HP) 3 Simple Commands 3.1 pwd - return working directory name #pwd 3.2 ls - list contents of directory # ls ls Options # ls –la IBM Cognos Proprietary Information TM1 Useful UNIX Commands 5 Gives more information on the files in the directory (ie. permissions, size, date last used) 3.3 How to set Backspace Key to delete #stty erase [hit backspace key] 3.4 cat - concatenate and display files #cat Tm1s.cfg IBM Cognos Proprietary Information TM1 Useful UNIX Commands 6 3.5 df - display status of disk space on file systems df Options #df -k Displays in Kilobytes IBM Cognos Proprietary Information TM1 Useful UNIX Commands 7 3.6 cd - change working directory IBM Cognos Proprietary Information TM1 Useful UNIX Commands 8 4 Detailed Commands 4.1 ps - report process status # ps –edf |grep Tm1 This command will search all the processes that are running on the UNIX server that have TM1 in the name. This is a great command to find out how many TM1 servers are running and who started them. 4.2 top - a utility that provides a rolling display of top cpu using processes # top CPU usage Physical RAM What RAM is being used Top process using most of the system resource IBM Cognos Proprietary Information TM1 Useful UNIX Commands 9 4.3 vmstat - report virtual memory statistics #vmstat vmstat reports virtual memory statistics regarding process, virtual memory, disk, trap, and CPU activity vmstat Options #vmstat 1 reports a vmstat response every second # vmstat 1 >vmstatlog outputs the 1 second response to log file called vmstatlog #vmstat -S Report on swapping rather than paging activity. This option will change two fields in vmstat's ``paging'' display: rather than the ``re'' and ``mf'' fields, vmstat will report ``si'' (swap-ins) and ``so'' (swap-outs). IBM Cognos Proprietary Information TM1 Useful UNIX Commands 10 4.4 mpstat - report per-processor statistics #mpstat Number of CPUs per system 4.5 sar -M (for HPUX) A command that may help gain some more detail on the CPU usage. This command is similar to mpstat on Solaris. The sar command with -M will segregate CPU usage per CPU. If you type in sar -M 1 10 this will give a CPU response every second for 10 seconds. What I would do is the following sar -M 5 100 >/tmp/sar.log What this will do is every 5 second report CPU usage 100 times and output the stats to a log file. Run this command when you kick off 7 TI processes again IBM Cognos Proprietary Information TM1 Useful UNIX Commands 11 4.6 psrinfo - displays information about processors. #psrinfo Without the processor_id operand, psrinfo displays one line for each configured processor, displaying whether it is on-line, non-interruptible (designated by no-intr), off-line, or powered off, and when that status last changed. Use the processor_id operand to display information about a specific processor. psrinfo Options # psrinfo –v Verbose mode. Displays additional information about the specified processors, including: processor type, floating point unit type and clock speed. If any of this information cannot be determined, psrinfo displays unknown. IBM Cognos Proprietary Information TM1 Useful UNIX Commands 12 4.7 sysdef - output system definition Note: Best to output this to a log file because a lot of information is returned #sysdef >syslog IBM Cognos Proprietary Information TM1 Useful UNIX Commands 13 4.8 TOP Top is scripted command that needs to placed in the /usr/local directory. This command gives valuable details on processes running and how much CPU and physical RAM is being used IBM Cognos Proprietary Information TM1 Useful UNIX Commands 14 4.9 chatr +q3p enable Tm1s.exe Brings back some useful information on the Tm1s.exe $ chatr +q3p enable Tm1s.exe Ignoring options "+q3penable" for files: Tm1s.exe chatr(warning): file "Tm1s.exe" appears to be corrupted and does not have a DT_FLAGS dynamic table entr y. Therefore, the -B options will not function properly.

    IoT Article Analysis of P4 and XDP for IoT Programmability in 6G and Beyond David Carrascal 1,† , Elisa Rojas 1,*,† , Joaquin Alvarez-Horcajo 1,† , Diego Lopez-Pajares 2 and Isaías Martínez-Yelmo 1 1 Departamento de Automática, Escuela Politécnica Superior, University of Alcala, 28801 Alcalá de Henares, Spain; [email protected] (D.C.); [email protected] (J.A.-H.); [email protected] (I.M.-Y.) 2 Departamento de Ingeniería de Sistemas Telemáticos, E.T.S de Ingenieros de Telecomunicación, Technical University of Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] † These authors contributed equally to this work. Received: 19 November 2020; Accepted: 10 December 2020; Published: 15 December 2020 Abstract: Recently, two technologies have emerged to provide advanced programmability in Software-Defined Networking (SDN) environments, namely P4 and XDP. At the same time, the Internet of Things (IoT) represents a pillar of future 6G networks, which will be also sustained by SDN. In this regard, there is a need to analyze the suitability of P4 and XDP for IoT. In this article, we aim to compare both technologies to help future research efforts in the field. For this purpose, we evaluate both technologies by implementing diverse use cases, assessing their performance and providing a quick qualitative overview. All tests and design scenarios are publicly available in GitHub to guarantee replication and serve as initial steps for researchers that want to initiate in the field. Results illustrate that currently XDP is the best option for constrained IoT devices, showing lower latency times, half the CPU usage, and reduced memory in comparison with P4.
