Starting the Historic Bandwidth Data Collection using the CLI

Use the vxrlink startstats command to start the historic bandwidth data collection for RLINKs in an RDS.

For historic bandwidth usage graphs, the user first has to start collecting the historic data for an RLINK in an RDS. To do this, you need to use the vxrlink startstats CLI option. After Historic Bandwidth Data Collection is started, it is possible to view the statistics through the right-click menu of a Secondary RVG node on which the collection was earlier enabled and select the View Historic Bandwidth Usage option.

Note:

In a multinode Primary cluster, if historic data collection is enabled on an RLINK and the storage group is moved to another node, you may need to explicitly Start Historic Data Collection on the new node. The data that is collected on the old and the new node cannot be merged.

Syntax for vxrlink startstats command

vxrlink [-g <diskgroup>] startstats <rlink>

where diskgroup is the name of the dynamic disk group and rlinkis the name of the RLINK in an RDS.
