HP Tru64 UNIX and TruCluster Server Version 5.1B-6 Patch Summary and Release Notes

Enhancements to pmgrd Daemon and collect Utility
Patches in this kit provide enhancements to the performance manager metrics server daemon,
pmgrd, and the collect utility.
Performance Manager Metrics Server Daemon (pmgrd)
The following features have been added to pmgrd:
• Support for monitoring the disk I/O rates.
Enables pmgrd to provide details on disk I/O rates, such as the average number of bytes
transferred per second and the average number of transfers completed per second over the
past 1 minute, 5 minutes, 30 minutes, and 60 minutes.
• Support for monitoring the AdvFS statistics.
Enables pmgrd to provide the following types of details on AdvFS file systems:
— The domain name
— The fileset name
— Number of files and blocks
— Soft and hard limits of files
— Soft and hard limits of blocks
— The status of user and group quotas
— Grace time and fileset clone information
It can also provide AdvFS volume details such as available blocks, percentage of volume
used, I/O consolidation mode, and the number of read/write blocks. The new MIB file
pmAdvfs.mib has been added to provide these statistics.
The collect utility displays these new AdvFS statistics. (See “New Features Added to
collect Utility”).
As a result of the improvements made to pmgrd, we recommend that you use the SysMan Menu
to manage AdvFS file systems rather than the dtadvfs graphical user interface and the advfsd
daemon. To use SysMan Menu, select Storage - File System Management Utilities - Advanced
File System (AdvFS) Utilities. You can also enter the following command:
# sysman advfs
See pmgrd(8) for more details.
New Features Added to collect Utility
The following features have been added to the collect utility, which is updated from Version
2.0.0 to 2.0.5:
• AdvFS monitoring capability. (See “Enhancements to pmgrd Daemon and collect Utility”
for a list of AdvFS metrics that are monitored.)
Enables collect to report AdvFS volume I/O queue and fileset vnode operation statistics.
You can specify the domain or fileset to be monitored, using the -A option.
• Viewing CPU and memory metrics on a per Resource Affinity Domain (RAD) basis.
When run on a NUMA platform, enables collect to automatically retrieve CPU and
memory metrics for each RAD.
See collect(8) for more details.
File System Management Applications Enhanced
Enhancements to the SysMan Menu file system management applications delivered in this patch
kit significantly improve their performance.
