disk read/writen

Maicon Stihler — Wed, 23 Mar 2005 09:23:06 GMT

Hi,

is there anyway to get the number of blocks read and writen to the disk since the system booted? I know that there is "sar -b", but it gives an average only.

Thank you

Hi,

For my knowledge , there is no commnad which will give you the status .

Sar will give you the current status , sar does not keep any old records .

try Prefview , you may find a similar metrix.

Thanks,
BL.

In measureware:

GBL_DISK_PHYS_BYTE metric, and other associated IO count metrics (GBL_PHYS_READ, etc.)

However, there is no guarantee that the counts are accurate since the last system boot since the amount of data stored in the measureware log files is controlled by the megabyte parametre set in the /var/opt/perf/parm file.

The log files are circular and when the size limit is reached, the oldest data is removed.
