Viewing the IOPS statistics for application volume groups

The -G option of the vxstat command provides a detailed view of the IOPS statistics for an application volume group. You can obtain a detailed view of the statistics per second or an average of the accumulated statistics per second over a specified time interval.

For clustered environments, the detailed statistics is displayed for each node in the cluster.

See the vxstat(1M) manual page.

You can view the following information:

MaxIOPS

The maximum IOPS threshold set for an application volume group

ServicedIOPS

The number of I/Os per second processed for an application volume group

QueuedIOPS

The number of I/Os per second throttled for an application volume group

For example, to view the IOPS statistics per second for existing application volume groups:

# vxstat -g oradg -G  <<<< average per second output
                                       AVG PER SECOND VOLUMEGROUP STATISTICS
TYP NAME          MaxIOPS     IncomingIOPS    ServicedIOPS       QueuedIOPS(Transient)
grp datavol_grp    1000          897             893               56
grp logvol_grp     600           599             598              404

To view the IOPS statistics per second for the application volume group datavol_grp:

# vxstat -g oradg -G datavol_grp
                                       AVG PER SECOND VOLUMEGROUP STATISTICS
TYP NAME         MaxIOPS     ServicedIOPS       QueuedIOPS(Transient)
grp datavol_grp  1000             980              360

To view the average IOPS statistics over a 3-second interval for the application volume group datavol_grp:

# vxstat -g oradg -G datavol_grp -i 3
                                       AVG PER SECOND VOLUMEGROUP STATISTICS
TYP NAME                               MaxIOPS   ServicedIOPS  QueuedIOPS(Transient)
