I have a few fiber channel interfaces with tapes drives hanging off of
them on an AIX 5.1 box. I would like get statistics (in/out octets,
errors, etc.) for the interfaces and, if possible, the drives
themselves. iostat will show me the first FC interface, but not the
rest. I would like to be able to get the statistics programmaticly with
something like libperfstat so that I can integrated it into snmpd. Any
ideas?

Thanks,

Steven.

So far as I know, iostat only talks to the disk driver. You might look
at the SNIA HBAAPI to see if that gives you what you want. See
/usr/include/sys/hbaapi.h

That is not on my system. What package do I need to install to get it?

Thanks,
