[Orca-dev] [PATCH] r528/data_gatherers/aix/orca-aix-stat.pl.in

[David Michaels]

This is more like a rewrite / replacement than a patch.  There have been 
enough changes that the patch is 50% longer than the original file.  
I've retooled the script quite a bit, and have distributed it personally 
to some users who've requested it on orca-users.  I suspect most AIX 
Orca users are using my version of this script.  I think even Rajesh is 
using it.

I've attached a copy of the script and, for completeness, a copy of the 
patch.

Here's a summary of some of the changes I've made since Rajesh first 
distributed the script to Orca two years ago.  The big rewrite in 2005 
was not logged.

* r528/data_gatherers/aix/orca-aix-stat.pl.in
   2006-04-06 - Added ^L page markers
   2006-04-05 - Modified how physical memory cap is identified
                Now uses prtconf instead of lslpp mumbo jumbo
              - corrected memory calculation
              - added check to verify memory cap identification
                If it didn't work, use a (bogus) default
              - added conditional for uptime parsing - N days (only)
              - shifted where some warnings are printed
   2006-01-31 - Added command-line options for TSM stuff:
                  o specify TSM ID/password
                  o disable TSM collection, even if present
              - TSM id/password now specified as a global variable
              - fixed warning messages to appear prior
                to corresponding header/data variable reset
              - updated version to 1.8
              - injected patterns for gnu-configure integration
                (only OUT_ROOT cared)
   2004-08-19 - Not yet ready for ./configure integration
              - Change: Redesign of some sections to run 24x7 using kernel
                counters instead of script cycles to compute
                needed values quickly every 5 minutes
              - Change: Duration < 0 indicates infinite loop, consistent
                with other orcallators
              - Duration > 0 < 24 indicates run every 300 seconds
                for Duration hours
              - Duration = 0 or Duration >= 24 is undefined
