Symstat Command

This document discusses how to use the symstat command to return I/O and throughput statistics for all devices on a specific EMC Symmetrix array, including specifying the array ID, interval, and number of samples, and describes the statistics that are returned such as read/write cache request rates, throughput rates, hit ratios, and write-pending track counts.

Array statistics

I/O and throughput statistics can be returned for all devices on a specific array
by specifying the Symmetrix ID in the command-line, specifying the interval and the
number of samples (counts) for the statistical run. The following example returns
performance statistics for Symmetrix array 150:

symstat -type REQUEST -sid 150 -i 10 -c 100

The following statistics are returned:

1. Host timestamp of the sample.

2. Active Symmetrix device name and host physical device name (if the device is
visible).

3. Read cache request rate (requests per second).

4. Write cache request rate (requests per second).

5. Read throughput rate (kilobytes per second).

6. Write throughput rate (kilobytes per second).

7. Read/write cache hit ratio (percentage of write hits).

8. Sequential read/write ratio (percentage of sequential reads).

9. Write-pending track count.
