Configure Disk Performance Statistics Collection for AIX Systems

For AIX systems, you must manually configure the systems to collect disk-performance statistics. SystemEDGE can monitor these statistics only if you instruct the operating system to track them.

Note: Enabling the collection of these statistics decreases the disk throughput.

To enable collection of disk statistics for AIX systems

  1. Log in to the system you want to monitor with root privileges.
  2. Enter the following at the command prompt: 
    chdev -1 sys0 -a iostat=true

To disable collection of disk statistics for AIX systems

  1. Log in to the system you want to monitor with root privileges.
  2. Enter the following at the command prompt: 
    chdev -1 sys0 -a iostat=false
