Viewing the physical disks screen

To view the screen that shows the list of hot physical disks, use the -D flag with the topas command.

The maximum number of physical disks displayed is the number of hot physical disks being monitored as specified with the -d flag. The list of hot physical disks is sorted by the KBPS field.

The following example shows the report generated by the topas -D command:
