Display I/O statistics for the entire node

The io_s input request to the mmpmon command allows the system administrator to collect I/O statistics for the entire node.

The io_s (I/O statistics) request returns strings containing I/O statistics taken over all mounted file systems as seen by that node, and are presented as total values for the entire node. The values are cumulative since the file systems were mounted or since the last reset, whichever is most recent. When a file system is unmounted, its statistics are lost and its contribution to the total node statistics vanishes. Read and write statistics are recorded separately.

Table 1 describes the keywords for the io_s response, in the order that they appear in the output. These keywords are used only when mmpmon is invoked with the -p flag.

Table 1. Keywords and values for the mmpmon io_s response
