Flags

Flag name Description
-report report <type> Generates the report based on the type specified. The report type can be detailed, summary, LAN, or disk. The detailed report type produces the comprehensive output of the xmwlm file and displays the report on the screen. The summary report tpye produces the abstract output of the xmwlm file and displays on the report on the screen. The LAN report type generates the summary output related to system LAN from the given xmwlm file and displays on the report on the screen. The disk report type generates I/O summary information and generates the xmwlm file and displays on the report on the screen.
-interval MM Specifies how the recording reports are split into equal size time periods. Allowed values (in minutes) are 5, 10, 15, 30, 60. If -interval flag is not specified, the default value is 5 minutes.
-beg HHMM Indicates the beginning time in hours (HH) and minutes (MM). The range is between 0000 and 2400.
-end HHMM Indicates the ending time in hours (HH) and minutes (MM). The range is between 0000 and 2400 and is greater than the begin time.
-fmt Generates a spreadsheet format output in a file under /home/ios/perf/wlm in the format xmwlm.YYMMDD_01.
-mode <type> Specifies the post-processor only output mean values by default. Other values and the full set are available via other options (min, max, mean, stdev, set).
-graph Generates the .csv file under /home/ios/perf/wlm in the format xmwlm.YYMMDD.csv, which can be sent to the Nmon analyzer to produce graphs to help analyze and write reports. The Nmon analyzer requires Excel 2002 or later.
-BinToAscii Converts the recording data from binary to ASCII text format and stores the output in the /var/perf/pm/daily/ directory.
-filename <name> Name of the wkldagent recording file. These files will be generated by the wkldagent command and resides in /home/ios/perf/wlm in the format xmwlm.YYMMDD
