Full Discussion: topas -P output to file
Operating Systems AIX topas -P output to file Post 302343809 by zxmaus on Thursday 13th of August 2009 04:30:34 PM

Hi,

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:

Code:
topasrec -L -c 5 -s 60

... 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.

Code:
topas -R

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:

ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/systems/p...l-VUG-Replays/

I hope this helps,
kind regards
zxmaus

mmsexplorer(1M) 					  System Administration Commands					   mmsexplorer(1M)

NAME

       mmsexplorer - generate diagnostic report for Media Management System

SYNOPSIS

       mmsexplorer -u [report_name] [num_lines]

DESCRIPTION

       The mmsexplorer command creates a diagnostic report of the activities of the Media Managment System (MMS) server configuration and collects
       log information. It constructs the diagnostic report from the most recent entries in the MMS log file, MMS database, and MMS trace file.

       The MMS is a software interface, consisting of  library managers and drive managers, that manages storage resources such as tape libraries,
       tape drives, media pools, tape volumes, and the disk resources that emulate tape drives and tape volumes.

       By default, mmsexplorer generates a compressed report. Use the -u option to generate an uncompressed file.

       To run mmsexplorer, you must become superuser, or assume the Primary Administrator role.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -u

	   Generates the diagnostic report file in an uncompressed format.

       report_name

	   Specifies the name of the diagnostic report file. The default name and location is:

	     /tmp/MMSreport.<hostname.YYYYMMDD.HHMMZ>.tar.gz

       num_lines

	   Specifies the number of lines to capture from each file that contributes to the diagnostic report. The default is 1000 lines.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1 Creating Diagnostic Report Using Default Values

       The  following  command	creates a diagnostic report using all default values. The MMS server is running on a host named x400. This name is
       reflected in the name of the diagnostic file.

	 # mmsexplorer

	 Report name:	  /tmp/MMSreport.x4200.20080530.1247CDT.tar.gz
	 Lines per file:  1000
	 Output format:   tar.gz (default) Use -u for unarchived/uncompressed.

	 Please wait.............................................

	 The following files should now be ftp'ed to your support provider as
	 ftp type binary.
		 /tmp/MMSreport.x4200.20080530.1247CDT.tar.gz

       Example 2 Creating an Uncompressed Diagnostic Report

       The following command creates an uncompressed diagnostic report. As in the previous example, the MMS server is  running	on  a  host  named
       x400.

	 # mmsexplorer

	 Report name:	  /tmp/MMSreport.x4200.20080530.1252CDT
	 Lines per file:  1000
	 Output format:   unarchived/uncompressed

	 Please wait.............................................
