sizer - a program that sizes system hardware
Syntax
/etc/sizer [ options ]
Description
The program reports various items of information about a kernel file and the running system. It is also used to create a system configura-
tion file in the doconfig command.
Options-b Create a boot command file for the current system disk. The program creates the appropriate and command files in These files can then
be used to update the systems console media. This only applies for VAX 8600, VAX 780, VAX 6200, and VAX 3400 cpus. This also applies
for the VAX 750 and VAX 8200 only if the system disk is connected to an HSC.
-c Return the CPU type of the running cpu.
-t timezone
Use timezone in the config file.
-wt Returns the workstation display type.
-wu Returns the workstation display units.
-k image
Use the indicated kernel file instead of This is useful when the running system is not or you wish information about a system that is
not running.
-n filename
Creates a configuration file. The system must be running the kernel unless the option is used. The option creates a configuration
file in and also a file required for called
NOTE: The user should run to build a new kernel.
-r Return only the name of the root device and partition.
-s Return only the CPU subtype of the running cpu. This only applies to VAX cpus. It returns following values for the following cpus:
Returned
Value CPU
11 VAX8800
10 VAX8700
9 VAX8550
8 VAX8500
6 VAX8300
5 VAX8200
4 VAXstation/MVAX 2000/3100
3 VAX60
1 MVAXII, VAX3x00, VAX62xx
The value 0 is returned for all other cpu types.

iostat(1) General Commands Manual iostat(1)Name
iostat - report I/O statistics
Syntax
iostat [ -c ] [ -t ] [ disknames ] [ interval ] [ count ]
Description
The command reports I/O statistics for terminals, disks and cpus. For terminals the number of input and output characters are counted.
For disks the number of 512 byte blocks per second and number of transfers per second are displayed. For cpus, it provides the percentage
of time the system has spent in user mode, in user mode running low priority (niced) processes, in system mode, and idling. On multipro-
cessor systems these cpu statistics represent a cumulative summary of all the cpus.
The optional disknames argument causes disk statistics to be displayed for the specified disks. If this argument is not specified then
disk statistics will be displayed for the first 3 disks only.
The optional interval argument causes to report once each interval seconds. The first report is for all time since a reboot and each sub-
sequent report is for the last interval only.
The optional count argument restricts the number of reports.
Options-c Displays the percentage of time each cpu spent in user mode, running low priority (nice'd) processes, in system mode, and idling.
-t Displays the number of characters read from and written to terminals.
Examples
This example will cause cpu and disk statistics for the 5 disks ra0, ra1, ra2, ra3, and ra4.
iostat ra0 ra1 ra2 ra3 ra4
This example will cause cpu, terminal, and disk statistics for ra0 to be displayed and updated every 2 seconds.
iostat -t ra0 2

This has got to be the system from hell. Once again, on the RP4440 (after the supplier replaced the entire box due to the bad RTC battery), finally have it all reloaded with the packages the developers need. The last thing is to add the secondary disk to the OS.
BCH sees both OS and secondary... (2 Replies)
