Re: xmperf and topas

Hi Simon,

Sorry for writing before I did more research on topas. Yes I did run topas
-n 5 and was able to see all of them. However xmperf is still showing en2
and en3 only.

When I do "lsdev -C |grep ent" I get the following:

ent0 Available 14-08 Gigabit Ethernet-SX PCI Adapter
ent1 Available 2A-08 Gigabit Ethernet-SX PCI Adapter
ent2 Available 40-58 10/100 Mbs Ethernet PCI Adapter

Hmmm, could it be Gigabit?

As I write this I am on hold with IBM, I'll see what they say.

Thanks for writing back
John

By default, topas only shows the two busiest network interfaces. One of
these will almost inevitably be lo0.
To show more - or fewer - interfaces, use the -n flag.
e.g. "topas -n 4" should show lo0 and the three ethernet adapters.

I'm not sure what xmperf is doing; it's a long time since I used it.
Presumably en2 is the busiest interface.
How did you remove en3? What do you get with lsdev and other commands?
