nmon recording tool commands

Edit online

This section contains the command outputs of different AIX® commands that are run by the nmon tool during the recording.

These values are recorded only once during the first iteration of the nmon recording. The BBB* sections are available in the memory, network, processor, and I/O statistics. The following sections in the nmon recording file are used to identify the command execution details:

BBBB

This section provides disk configuration details for all the disks in the partition. This section contains the following fields:

name: Hard disk name.
Size: Size of the hard disk in GB.
Disk attach type: Type of disk. The disk type can be serial-attached SCSI (SAS), virtual SCSI (vSCSI), or Fibre Channel (FC) disk.

BBBC

This section provides detailed configuration information about each hard disk by executing the following command:

lspv -l hdisk*

BBBV

This section provides volume group configuration details. This section displays the output of the following command:

lsvg –L |lsvg -Li

BBBP

This section provides configuration details and performance statistics by displaying the output of set of commands that are executed during a time interval. The commands are executed in the following format: <command name> <Parameters>. This format represents the command that was run to get the output for this section. For details about the fields that are displayed in the command output, refer to the corresponding command man pages. The list of commands that are run by the nmon tool follows:

BBBP** continued

Commands that are related to shared storage pool (SSP) are executed if SSP data collection is not enabled explicitly. You can use the -ysub=ssp option to enable SSP data collection. This section contains the following fields:

/usr/sbin/lscluster -m

Displays the output of the lscluster –m command that provides the details of the cluster and the nodes that belong to the cluster.

/usr/ios/cli/ioscli lssp –clustername

Displays the output of the lssp –clustername <clustername> command that provides the details of the shared storage pool that belong to the cluster.

Note: Complete I/O server command line interface (ioscli) path of the command is specified in the root mode of VIOS.

/usr/ios/cli/ioscli lssp -clustername -sp -bd

Provides the logical unit (LU) details of the shared storage pool. An example command follows:

lssp –clustername <clustername> -sp <SSP_name> -bd

Note: Complete I/O server command line interface (ioscli) path of the command is specified in the root mode of VIOS.

Physical location <-> PartitionNumber:MTM

Provides the following details for all backing devices of the VIOS:

Physical location of the backing device.
Virtual I/O client partition ID to which the device is mapped to.
Machine Type Model (MTM) number of that device.

Client-Id : MTM <-> VTD

Provides the following mapping information for all virtual target devices:

VIOS client partition ID.
MTM number.
Virtual Target Device (VTD) name.

VTD <-> BACKING DEVICE

Provides the following mapping information for all virtual target devices:

Virtual target device name.
<Backing device name>.<unique device identifier>

BBBP, Disk Statistics

This section indicates the beginning of the section for the list of SSP disks. This section is the continuation of the SSP section that is recorded by default when the -y sub=ssp option is not specified explicitly. This section contains the following fields:

Disk Name: SSP disk name.
Capacity: Size of the SSP disk in bytes.
Udid: Unique device identifier for the SSP disk.

BBBP,Disk Name Capacity Udid

This section is recorded separately for each SSP disk in the NMON recording file. This section contains the following fields:

Disk Name: SSP disk name.
Capacity: Size of the SSP disk in bytes.
Udid: Unique device identifier for the SSP disk.
/usr/sbin/emgr –l: Lists the interim fixes that are installed.
