Perfect!

Thank you...I've been searching around trying to find the cpu_stats.ksh
script it refers to in several places in the text, in hopes of stealing
that. The exec is exactly what I needed. Thank you again!

Check out the "user defined executives" section of the book.

The example given is lsps -a, which could be your own command that ouput CPU
usage the way you want it.

Thanks Kevin. This is a nice resource.

I still have what amounts to a basic question. Is there a way (using
Net-SNMP, or some other powerful magic) to use the Host Resources MIB with
AIX? I've searched on the 'net in various newsgroups, IBM's site, all the
MIB sites I can find, and still have yet to find a definitive answer.

All I want is a simple CPU usage percentage, hopefully broken out by user,
system, and idle.

Ugh. Maybe I'm blind, but I've had zero luck so far.

Thanks,
Drew

Drew,

Look into the redbook, Managing AIX Server Farms - SG24-6606, at
www.redbooks.ibm.com.

It goes into some detail of using IBM's AIX SNMP and NET-SNMP to do what you
want to do.

Hi,

I'm running a heterogeneous environment consisting of several HP and AIX
boxes, and overall, they seem to work well together.

One thing I'm having trouble with, and I hope this is a misconfiguration
error on my part...

There's a host MIB which reports filesystem sizes, CPU utilization, memory
utilization, paging space, etc. I run it on the HP systems with no problem,
and am able to produce some very nice reports with it. However, I can't say
the same for AIX. I've found an MIB for AIX that contains the filesystem
information, but nothing that reports CPU and memory utilization, as well as
paging space, etc.

Could anyone point me in the right direction? I'm interested in 4.3.3 and
5L (though I realize the MIB's will likely be different).

Is there an additional software package required? I called IBM support
about this (just front-line though) and was told this was simply not an
option. "AIX doesn't support SNMP". Yeah...I'm not buying that one.

Anyway...any help you could provide is appreciated.
