When I cat /proc/stat I do not have info after "disk io:" The card shows up as device /dev/cciss/c0d0 and is in /proc/partitions, but still shows up as blank under iostat (I can explicitly specify the device). isag also has no stats to graph. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type iostat Actual Results: No devices show up under device, as well as no data. Cpu is there. Expected Results: Data Additional info:
specify "-x devicefile" will help. (ex) iostat -x /dev/cciss/c0d0
This looks like a dup of the iostat cciss bug report against RHEL3. The driver is not reporting in /proc.
Charlie, If I understand the situation correctly, this can not be fixed in the driver because upstream vetoed that approach. As a result, you put a workaround in iostat for RHEL 3. We don't necessarily need to go that far out of our way for this in AS 2.1, but I don't know all the pros/cons. What do you think? Tom
Hi Tom - there's a partial workaround (device major 104 only) in U4/U4. There's a full-blown solution being tested by JohnRay Fuller at a number of customer sites. Jared: does this fix you up? http://people.redhat.com/ccb/sysstat/2.1AS/5.0.5-10.21as
Yes upgrading to the lastest sysstat rpm did the trick. Thanks, Jared
