pstat_getlv and Veritas file systems??

[David Gourley]

Hi,

I can use pstat_getlv to obtain information about HP file systems. However the function appears not to return data on Veritas (vxfs) file systems. Is there any way to programmatically obtain similar information (e.g. information about quantity of data read/written to a logical volume) for vxfs file systems? (I know I can get this data from glance/measureware etc. but this is not an option for the problem I'm trying to solve). Code to obtain data at the disk level (using pstat_getdisk) works on both filesystem types.

Thanks!

Dave

If you are using VxVM 3.5 AND VxFS 3.3 (aka JFS/OJFS 3.3) then you can use vxstat.

If you are NOT using VxVM and using VxFS 3.5, then you can use "vxfsstat"..

I know there is an API of sorts available if you have both VxVM and VxFS.. I just cannot recall if they are a separate install or where it is installed...
