Analyzing Disk Array Performance
Disk array performance can be checked using the arraydsp command. However, the AutoRAID Manager
for Windows provides a graphical representation of performance data that you should more useful than the
information returned using the arraydsp command. For information about using the Auto RAID Manager
for Windows and details on performance topics in general, see
preceding chapter.
To check disk array performance, type:
arraydsp { -r stime etime} | { -m stime etime [int] } <array-id>
The starting time (stime) and ending time (etime) values establish the analysis period. The format of the
stime and etime arguments is mmddhhmm[yy].The int option controls the display interval. The
display interval is the number of 15-minute increments.
