Displaying LUN statistics on exceeding throttles

Statistics are available about I/O requests for LUNs that exceed the igroup throttle. These statistics can be useful for troubleshooting and monitoring performance.

Steps

  1. Enter the following command: lun stats -o -i time_in_seconds

    -i time_in_seconds is the interval over which performance statistics are reported. For example, -i 1 reports statistics each second.

    -o displays additional statistics, including the number of QFULL messages, or "QFULLS".

    Example
    lun stats -o -i 1 /vol/vol0/lun1
    system1> lun stats -o -i 1 /vol/vol0/lun1

    The output displays performance statistics, including the QFULL column. This column indicates the number of initiator requests that exceeded the number allowed by the igroup throttle, and as a result, received the SCSI Queue Full response.
  2. Display the total count of QFULL messages sent for each LUN by entering the following command: lun stats -o lun_path
    Example
    system1> lun stats -o /vol/vol0/lun1
    /vol/vol0/lun1  (11 hours, 19 minutes, 0 seconds)
