NAME
volstat - Logical Storage Manager (LSM) statistics management utility
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/volstat [-g diskgroup] [-i interval] [-c count] [-f fields] [
-r ] [ -psvd] [ object ... ]
DESCRIPTION
The volstat utility prints and resets statistics information on one or
more volumes, plexes, subdisks, or disks.
The volstat utility reads statistics from the volume device files in
the directory /dev/rvol/ and prints them to standard output. These
statistics represent volume, plex, subdisk, and disk activity since
boot time. If no object operands are given, then statistics from all
volumes in the configuration database are reported. object can be the
name of a volume, plex, subdisk, or disk.
OPTIONS
The following options are recognized: Select records from the specified
disk group. The diskgroup option argument can be either a disk group
name or disk group ID. Print the change in volume statistics that oc-
curs after every interval seconds. The first interval is assumed to
encompass the entire previous history of objects. Subsequent displays
will show statistics with a zero value if there has been no change
since the previous interval. Stop after printing interval statistics
count times. Select the display of statistics collected. The follow-
ing options are available: Statistics on read and write operations.
Displays six fields: the number of read operations, the number of write
operations, the number of blocks read, the number of blocks written,
the average time spent on read operations in the interval, and the av-
erage time spent on write operations in the interval. These statistics
are displayed as the default output format. Statistics on atomic
copies performed (has meaning only for volumes). Displays the number
of operations, number of blocks, and the average time spent per opera-
tion. Statistics on plex read and plex write ioctls (has meaning only
for volumes). Displays six fields: the number of plex read operations,
the number of plex write operations, the number of blocks read, the
number of blocks written, the average time spent on plex read opera-
tions in the interval, and the average time spent on plex write opera-
tions in the interval. Statistics on verified reads and writes (has
meaning only for volumes). Displays six fields: the number of verified
read operations, the number of verified write operations, the number of
blocks read, the number of blocks written, the average time spent on
verified read operations in the interval, and the average time spent on
verified write operations in the interval. Statistics on corrected
(fixed) read operations (has meaning only for volumes). Displays the
number of fixed read and write operations. Displays the number of
failed read and write operations. Reset statistics instead of printing
them. This option will follow the same selection rules as printing for
any type selection arguments or for any named objects. If an interval
was specified on the command line, then the first set of statistics
will not be printed since they will have been reset to zero. Subse-
quent activity will cause printing of statistics as normal. Display
statistics for volumes on the objects specified on the command line.
For an object that is a plex or a subdisk, displays information about
the volume with which the object is associated. If an object supplied
is a disk, then any volumes that occupy any part of the disk will be
selected. Display statistics for plexes on the object specified on the
command line. For subdisk objects, displays information about a plex
with which it is associated. Display statistics for subdisks on the
objects specified on the command line. Display statistics for disks on
which the object specified on the command line is fully or partially
located.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Summary statistics for each object are printed in one-line output
records, preceded by two header lines. The output line consists of
blank-separated fields for the object type, object name (standard), and
the fields requested by the -f switch in the order they are specified
on the command line.
If the -i interval option was supplied, then statistics will be pref-
aced with a time-stamp showing the current local time on the system.
EXIT CODES
The volstat utility exits with a nonzero status if the attempted opera-
tion fails. A nonzero exit code is not a complete indicator of the
problems encountered, but rather denotes the first condition that pre-
vented further execution of the utility. See volintro(8) for a list of
standard exit codes.
EXAMPLES
To display statistics for all subdisks associated with all volumes, use
the command:
/usr/sbin/volstat -s
To display statistics for the plexes and subdisks of a volume named
blop, use the following:
/usr/sbin/volstat -ps blop
To reset all statistics for a disk group named foodg, type the follow-
ing command:
/usr/sbin/volstat -g foodg -r
To display 5 sets of disk statistics at 10 second intervals, use the
following:
/usr/sbin/volstat -i 10 -c 5 -d
