How to report disk utilization such as kb read per sec, kb written per sec, % disk busy

[Leo Lai]

Hi, I was wondering how to get kb read per sec, kb written per sec, and percentage of disk busy for network and user file systems on HP-UX.

On Solaris, I use `iostat -x` to get this information. I need something similar on HP. Any help is appreciated.

I think you might want to try "sar -b" or "sar -d".

The sar command can be of use.

'sar -d' for disk info.

iostat is available on HPUX as well

Also you can use Glance. This is a cost product but is available for a 60 day trial.

Hi Leo:

Have a look at 'sar' (see the manpages) and also 'glance'. The later must be licensed, but is a "must-have" on any production server. A trial version is available on the Application CD/DVDs.

Regards!

Use this script:

#!/bin/sh
#activity.sh

clear
echo
uname -a
echo

while [ 1 ]
do

echo "Report buffer activity"
echo
sar -b 5,5 | tail -2
echo

echo "Disk activity"
echo
sar -d 5,5 | tail -2
echo

sleep 5
done

### END ###
exit 0


Note: Use ctrl + c to close the script.
