specifies the length of the sample period in seconds; the default sample period is 15 seconds, and the maximum period is 999 seconds


Example

To display I/O interrupt activity, type

PIO

AMTO70I I/O Interrupt data being gathered for 15 seconds

AMTO73I Processor I/O Interrupt Activity Report
    [1]                 [2]              [3]       
AMTO74I CPU 00 processed      676 interrupts (  0% were through TPI)
AMTO74I CPU 10 processed    1,116 interrupts (  1% were through TPI)

Legend:

  1. CPU identifier (CPUID) for the processor whose activity is being reported
  2. total number of I/O interrupts (including TPIs) processed by this CPU in the interval
  3. percentage of I/O interrupts processed by this CPU through the Test Pending Interrupt (TPI) instruction--the percentage of I/O interrupts that do not require a physical program status word (PSW) swap.
