IO statistics

Christopher T. Pestano — Mon, 16 Sep 2002 04:55:49 GMT

Hi,

I would like to collect IO statistics like the one displayed by option i using Glance but I don't want to use gpm dumps. Is there a command line equivalent to this in (sar,iostat,etc...)or a third-party tool?

Thanks,
Tope

There is no HP-UX native command to do this other than glance/gpm and I cant find any 3rd party tool which will display logical and physical i/o like glance -i does.

The only other tool is HP's PerfView - it will let you graph these metrics and even dump the graph data to a file if you want to process it another way.

Maybe your needs can be satisfied using the Glance Adviser from the command line?

e.g.
# glance -adviser_only -syntax

with e.g.

fs loop
if FS_PHYS_IO_RATE > 0 THEN
print FS_TYPE, ": ", FS_DEVNAME, FS_LOGL_IO_RATE, FS_PHYS_IO_RATE

Dietmar.
