SAR/IOSTAT Collection Instructions
SAR and IOSTAT are standard Unix utilities for gathering system performance information. This information
can be used for analyzing the performance requirements, including. IOSTAT collects IO statistics for each
disk device in the system, including reads and writes per second.
Note: On some operating systems, such as Solaris, IOSTAT will also gather tape drive statistics. On AIX, it will
not.
Note 2: Multi-pathing devices, such as PowerPath, will show both the underlying and multi-pathed device.
### IOSTAT Instructions ###
Execute "iostat":
Linux:
# nohup iostat -cdkxt 60 2880 > /tmp/iostat_`hostname`.out
Solaris:
# nohup iostat -dx -T u 60 2880 > /tmp/iostat_`hostname`.out
AIX:
# nohup iostat -D -T 60 2880 > /tmp/iostat_`hostname`.out
HPUX:
# sar -d 60 2880 > /tmp/sar_`hostname`.out
Compress the output file
# gzip iostat_`hostname`.out
