try rather topasrec or smitty performance / smitty topas ...
To start a report that runs for 5 minutes and collects metrics every 1 minute, enter the following command:
... the file will be in the directory you were in when starting the record and in the format servername_timestamp.topas ... data will be binary and you can run it through nmon analyzer or generate a report via smitty topas panel.
collects data as well and the data is stored automatically in /etc/perf/** but as far as I know there is no possibility to define any values like count or intervals - all you get is the default - and you would need to run it as well through either topasout or nmon analyzer or the smitty panel to really have useful data ...
There was a webinar last year from the AIX virtual usergroup about topas recording - have a look into '2008-9-25_Topas_Recording.wmv' that can be found here:

Hi,
I'm using topas to monitor CPU and Disk activity including paging space. Previously, I can see the percentage activity of the disk under column "BUSY%", now I can no longer view it (it's all zero), unless I will run IOSTAT 2 simultaneously. What would be the cause of this?
Thanks, (2 Replies)

Hi,
I want to know how to redirect the output of topas -P to a file in a readable format. I tried doing it by using

bpm
BPM(1) BSD General Commands Manual BPM(1)NAME
bpm -- menu-based binary package manager
SYNOPSIS
bpm [-hnVv] [-b baseURL] [-m machine] [-r release] [-w seconds]
DESCRIPTION
The bpm command is used to locate and install binary packages from any reachable URL.
The following command-line options are supported:
-b baseURL
Specify a base URL from which to download binary packages. The default URL is ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages.
-h Print a help message and then exit.
-m machine
Use machine as the machine architecture to be used, instead of that returned by uname(1).
-n Don't actually execute the commands to add the package.
-r release
Use release as the operating system release to be used, instead of that returned by uname(1).
-V Print version number and exit.
-v Turn on verbose output.
-w seconds
The number of seconds to wait after displaying an error message and returning to normal menu operations.
bpm provides a menu-based binary package manager for NetBSD. bpm first connects to the URL using ftp(1), and displays a list of categories
for which binary packages exist. If no categories are displayed, it could be that the machine architecture or operating system release
string have been wrongly interpreted, and that it will be necessary to override this values by means of the command line options. Within a
category, a list of packages will be displayed, and by selecting one using the number assigned to it, the package will be downloaded automat-
ically, and installed, using the pkg_add(1) utility. It is also possible to change the category currently being examined, and to quit from
the utility, simply by selecting the appropriate choices on the menu.
ENVIRONMENT
The environment variables which govern the behavior of ftp(1) and pkg_add(1) are valid for bpm.
SEE ALSO ftp(1), pkg_add(1), uname(1)AUTHORS
The bpm utility was written by Alistair Crooks <agc@NetBSD.org>.
