Incorrect output from mmpmon
The analysis of incorrect output of mmpmon command.
If the output from mmpmon is incorrect,
such as zero counters when you know that I/O activity is taking place,
consider these points:
- Someone may have issued the
reset
orrhist reset
requests. - Counters may have wrapped due to a large amount of I/O activity, or running mmpmon for an extended period of time. For a discussion of counter sizes and counter wrapping, see Counter sizes and counter wrapping section in Monitoring I/O performance with the mmpmon command.
- See the Other information about mmpmon output section in Monitoring I/O performance with the mmpmon command. This section gives specific instances where mmpmon output may be different than what was expected.
