Re: Throughput of HBA cards?
You can use sar -b and sar -d to measure some of the metrics.
You can also try http://www.iozone.org which helps in analyzing I/O performance
HP has a unsupported tool called "diskbench" which can be used also

Re: Throughput of HBA cards?
I do the following to get a feel of throughput on my system.
Create an seperate LUN on the disk subsystem.
Create a volume group, file system and mount it. To measure the throughput for writes
#date >> log;prealloc /file_system/testfile 500000000;date >> log
Now measure the difference in the times and devide 500MB with it. For reads.,
#date >> log;cat /file_system/testfile > /dev/null ;date >> log
repeat the above said process.
The above is only for sequential.
These througputs vary depending on random reads/writes.
Also, striping on the disk subsystem will also change the throughput.

Re: Throughput of HBA cards?
if you have /var/opt/perf/
cd to that directory and run the following.
extract -xp -G -r /var/opt/perf/rept
this will give you ample data that you can download into excel and report from there your netstat totals.
HTH,
Vito

Re: Throughput of HBA cards?
HBA card ? more info please, what type/model of card is it and whats the host type ?
For any sort of connection to disk/tape devices dd is the command to test out performance.
For any sort of lan cards, ftp is the command to test out performance.
I can provide more info from the HP (internal use) manual on card performance if you can give more details on your host and cards in question.
