top is normal

I'm not sure what you are asking?

"99.9%id" means the server is 99.9% idle.

 

[marcus007]

noc tell me . I/O stat high and it do server down

I ask why it high

 

[ravi9]

%id is the amount of time the CPU has been idle, that is, doing nothing.
Is your server UP and running fine??

 

[fabin]

You have to watch for the %wa value to monitor IO wait ( which is next to %id ). If that value stays above 30%, then it is not a good sign and means poor performance of disk or some process is reading/writing too much data that the storage device.

You can also use "iotop" command to get a list of processes that are causing the high IO.

Hello

The following thread may also be of help to you:

Troubleshooting High Load On Linux Systems

It's intended for troubleshooting high loads but it also provides information on checking high disk I/O usage.

Thank you.
