C.1 iostat Command


C.1 iostat Command
The iostat command is used to regularly report the CPU usage status, as well as the terminal status, drive status, and I/O status.
Table C-1 lists the options of the iostat command and how these options are useful for troubleshooting the system.
Table C-1  iostat Command Options
Option Description Application
No options Reports the status of the local I/O device. Allows you to view the device status concisely in 3 lines.
-c
 Reports, as ratios, the length of time that the system has been in user mode, in system mode, waiting for I/O, and idling. Allows you to view the CPU status as a concise report.
-e
 Displays a summary of statistics on device errors. The displayed items are the total number of errors, hardware errors, software errors, and transfer errors. Allows you to view the accumulated number of errors as a concise table and identify potentially failed I/O devices.
-E
 Displays statistics on all the device errors. Allows you to view device information (manufacturer, model number, serial number, size, and errors).
-n
 Displays the names in a descriptive form. Allows you to identify devices with a descriptive display.
-x
 Reports the extended drive statistics of individual drives. Statistics are output in table format.
Similar to the -e option, but differs in that it provides rate information.		 Allows you to find internal devices and other I/O devices on the network whose performance is low.
The following example shows the output from the iostat command.
