perfAddRWMonitor

Adds a filter-based performance monitor for the SCSI read and write commands.

Synopsis perfaddrwmonitor [slotnumber/]portnumber [alias]

Description Use this command to create a filter-based monitor that counts the number of SCSI FCP Read and

Write commands in Fibre Channel frames. Only frames transmitted are counted.

Execution of this command displays a numeric key that uniquely identifies the monitor. Use the

perfMonitorShow command for a listing of valid keys and user-defined aliases.

Notes This command requires an Advanced Performance Monitoring license.

This command is not supported on virtual FC ports (VE/VEX_Port), EX_Port, M (Mirror) ports and

GbE ports.

The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may

be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command

Availability" for details.

Operands This command has the following operands:

slotnumber For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port on which the

monitor is to be added, followed by a slash (/).

portnumber Specifies the number of the port on which the monitor is to be added, relative

to its slot for bladed systems. Use switchShow for a list of valid ports.

alias Specifies a name for this monitor. Strings exceeding 10 characters are

truncated. To accommodate spaces, the string must be surrounded by

quotation marks. Spaces count toward the character limit but are removed.

This operand is optional. The default alias is “SCSI R/W”.

Examples To add an SCSI read and write monitor to a port:

switch:admin> perfaddrwmonitor 2/4 SCSI_RW

SCSI Read/Write filter monitor #4 added
