Queued IO in powerpath clarification
Hello,
I had a quick questions on the Q-IO value seen in powerpath. Is this value the number of IO's that are queued above the HBA queue depth? In the example below, do the 16 and 18 queued io's suggest that I need to increase my hba queue depth, or are they just in transit to the frame, and as long as they are under the hba depth we are fine? Thanks!

Invista logical device count=0
HP xp logical device count=0
Ess logical device count=0

I don't know about the depth setting for AIX but 34 queued IO/s doesn't seem that high, you're under 2% queued. Some performance guys will tell you if you're not queuing you're not utilizing your environment.
