SAR + IOSTAT and CCISS devices
We're using SuSE Linux Enterprise 8 + SP3 + PSP 7.10 + DL 380 G3 .
When I type 'sar -d' I get: "Requested activities not available in file", and 'iostat' gives doesn't list the devices.
I've checked /usr/src/linux/.config and it have 'CONFIG_BLK_STATS=y'.
Then... I tried installing SLES8+SP3 on a new PC (with IDE disks) and I got the sar counters... the "problem" is only with proliant servers.
Is CCISS devices "supported" on SAR / IOSTAT ? If not, which utilities can I use to get disk statistics ?
Thank you.
Eduardo

Re: SAR + IOSTAT and CCISS devices
SAR -D is invalid, there is no "-D" parameter.
I'm using SAR 4.0.3.
About atsar, it only work with -D, and it showed a 130.0 Kbyt/s.
So, am I getting 130MB/s or 130KB/s (very slow!) ???
Thanks again.

Re: SAR + IOSTAT and CCISS devices
But even sar (sysstat version 5.0.5) works on my system.
The output returned 130Kb/s, is the usage of the disk. If nothing is happening on the disk. It may even be 0Kb/s.

Re: SAR + IOSTAT and CCISS devices
But I'm thinking it's a problem with SuSE Enterprise 8 (with or without SP3) and CCISS devices.
Is anyone here using SLES8 and Proliant DL servers ? If yes, does sar -d work ? With DL380G3 it doesn't work.
Thanks,
Eduardo

Re: SAR + IOSTAT and CCISS devices
# sar -d
Requested activities not available in file
It worked on all 3 when I first set them up 3+ years ago. When I posted regarding this problem in July 2004, it was not working on on one of my servers. Today it is not working on all 3 servers!
HP/Compaq ProLiant DL580G2 (Live and Test)
HP/Compaq ProLiant DL380G3 (Web Server)
Red Hat Linux 7.3 Professional
Kernel: 2.4.20-20.7bigmem
Compaq Smart Array 5312
# sar -V
sysstat version 4.0.3
On all 3 Linux machines, the sa data collection stuff is running every
10 minutes (via cron):
$ cat /etc/cron.d/sysstat
# run system activity accounting tool every 10 minutes */10 *
* * * root /usr/lib/sa/sa1 1 1 # generate a daily summary of
process accounting at 23:53
53 23 * * * root /usr/lib/sa/sa2 -A
A plain "sar" (or sar -A) is correctly reporting current stats for CPU,
network, etc. on each machine. However, sa appears to be capturing all expected data EXCEPT the disk/block device
(-d) stats. I can't figure out why.
"iostat -d" also comes up blank:
# iostat -d
Linux 2.4.20-20.7bigmem (live) 02/15/2005
Device: tps Blk_read/s Blk_wrtn/s Blk_read Blk_wrtn
Rebooting doesn't help.
What do I need to do to resume capturing "sar" block device data?
