Re: [Hyperic-hq-discuss] Problems with Sigar and AIX

[Doug M. <do...@hy...>]

Java 1.5 is fine, no need for 1.6.  Check if you can see the stats using:

% java -jar sigar.jar iostat

Filesystem      Mounted on           Reads     Writes R-bytes W-bytes Queue Svctm
/dev/hd4        /                  7099621   70746704    3.4G     34G  0.00     -
...

Sigar.getDiskUsage calls perfstat_disk underneath on AIX:

What version of AIX are you running?  If 6.1, issue might be:
"To improve system performance, the collection of disk input and output statistics is disabled by default in current releases of AIX.

To enable the collection of this data, run:

chdev -l sys0 -a iostat=true

To display the current setting, run:

lsattr -E -l sys0 -a iostat
