Kilobytes written

[Sylvia Welch]

I need to find out how many kilobytes are written to a paticular lvolume or to the LUNs assigned to it over a period of time. Can glance do this?

Thanks

If you purchased the Glance/Plus package, then Measureware (mwa) can monitor many different values over a long period. If you have an Xwindow device (PC with Xwindow software, Xterminal, Unix workstation) you can run the gpm program and then right click on the disk graph.

Thanks Bill, but how do I get those stats say for 30 days. I'd like to pull it in a spreadsheet and get totals.

Forgot..we do have glance/plus

mwa is the tool. You'll need to increase the logfile sizes (double should be about a month for default settings) and make sure mwa is running (use: mwa status). Then you can use the extract command to create a file that can be imported into a spreadsheet. man mwa and man extract is a start, but the best guides are located in the Glance docs directory. You'll need the metric dictionary (from the docs directory) to pick the name(s) of the disk I/O values.

I'll take a look at the manual.

Thanks
