Hi Roger,

I assume you mean the pv commands dealing with Physical Volumes

pvchange
pvck
pvcreate
pvdisplay
pvmove
pvremove

all have their own man pages.

Also see the online LVM manual

Rgds,

Hi Roger,

If you are trying to find help on Perfview's pv command, then there are PDF files under /opt/perf/paperdocs directory.

See if they can help you.

Sri,

I am looking for perf pv command, and the documemt on the web site?

Thanks,

I don't know if HP provides Perview documentation on web but I would install the trail version of Glance to grab the documentation under /opt/perf/paperdocs.

In general:

pv -batch -dest path_to_file -b begin_date -ymax 100 -graph

For ASCII files:

#extract -xp -G -b >START_DATE> -e -r /var/opt/perf/reptall -f

All of this is a part of MeasureWare. Within MeasureWare there are five files used to collect different heuristics:

logglob (* global metrics *)
logdev (* disk/device *)
logappl (* application *)
logtran (* transactions *)
logproc (* process log *)

Obtain a copy of the MeasureWare dictionary and note the 250 plus variables within these log files that can be turned on and used to collect data.

Don't forget to award points cuz its all about the points. Just use the drop down menu on each replay and select a number.

Anybody else, where can I find docs about detail pv usage(perfview).

Points will be assigned later.

Thanks,

Hi (again) Roger:

Follow the link (below) to the whitepapers and do a keyword search for 'perfview'. Good luck.

James,

Are you sure the link, because it seems a NTP site. I could find any thing about perfview?

You can try HP's openview site..at www.openview.hp.com I think once you've install the glancepak plus you would be abe to get the man pages for it. This may be something of interest..
