SAN Bandwith in lpar2rrd only half after AIX update

skol

in LPAR2RRD
Hello

We have lpar2rrd 7.20 and lpar2rrd-agent-7.20-1.
Since we update the AIX to 7.2 TL5 SP2 (from TL3) the "SAN"-tab shows about half of the bandwith.
"SAN IOPS" and "SAN RESP" looks ok.
nmon shows the correct bandwith (double of lpar2rrd)
Therefore I assume the collection is not working properly.

Someone else with the same experience?

Regards Stefan

    Hi,

    provide us:

    1.
    date
    fcstat <fcsX adapter> | grep Bytes
    sleep 300
    fcstat <fcsX adapter> | grep Bytes

    2. screenshot ofthe SAN graph from that time period, zoom it on that time

    Hi Pavel

    I made with ndisk64 IO on the disk.

    Here the output of your commands:

    /root # date; fcstat fcs0  | grep Bytes; sleep 300; fcstat fcs0  | grep Bytes
    Fri Aug  6 16:21:19 CEST 2021
      Input Bytes:  35051667
      Output Bytes: 1503871560
      Input Bytes:  47163539
      Output Bytes: 318964296

    This are about 3 MB/s on fcs0. It matches the data in lpar2rrd.
    But in nmon it looks like this during the transfer.

    It is about 80 MB/s.

    now I see the second number is even smaller than the first in "Output Bytes".
    I have problems attaching a printscreen. But there it shows about 2.5 MB/s average.

    it is something we aready seen, pls report it to AIX support, we just present what we get from fcstat.
