How to capture LAN utilization (packet-in / out rate) and backtrack its utilization for invstgation

[Jojo Castro]

Hi All....

We are currently having a network problem outside our servers. Just to provide a report in terms of LAN utilization, speed etc... on all our HP-UX servers, what are the tools and how can I extract such informations. I am currently using mwa but I can only gather packet in/out and rate as a whole but not per lancards / NIC.
Really appreciate your expertise and answers now.

Thanks to all!

#lanadmin

Thanks for the reply ahsan.

use command
#lanadmin

This is for current right?
But how can I backtrack its status for the past days or hours?
Like the "extract" command in HP-UX using "global" as its reference.

Thanks!

Measureware could have been a solution.
And netstat can also tell you the load on your network interfaces (netstat -i).
But if these are not running, it could very well be you cannot get historic information.

We run a script everyday collecting things like lan-speed-settings etc on all our servers to have information like this. But as for network load, we have to use measureware and perfview or ITO reporter.

Good luck,

I Have been using measureware but only shows packet in and out as a whole. I need to get the status per lancard/s. Also, can you give me a sample scripts to capture the status of network cards, errors etc...

thanks!
