File System Detail - Remote (PD_FSR)

Function

The File System Detail - Remote (PD_FSR) record stores the performance data showing the status of the remote file system capacity at a given point in time. A record is created for each remote file system. This is a multi-instance record.

Notes:
  • In HP-UX, Solaris, and Linux, the file system area for a general user is defined as the sum of the file system area used and the file system area that is available. The file system area for a superuser also includes a reserved file system area. In AIX, because there is no reserved area, there is no difference between the file system area for a general user and that for a superuser.
  • In specialized file systems, it may not be possible to collect performance data. For example, a remote file system whose remote host name cannot be acquired as a virtual local file system may be treated as a local file system.
  • The Unsupported column in the File System Detail - Remote (PD_FSR) record indicates the platform on the remote file system side.
  • The basic block size (FFBS: Fundamental Filesystem Block Size) used in the field table of this record is the allocation unit used during file system creation. The number of blocks that corresponds to the basic block size is called the basic block count. The logical block size (PFBS: Preferred Filesystem Block Size) is the allocation unit used during input/output operations. The number of blocks that corresponds to the logical block size is called the logical block count.
  • In PFM - Agent for Platform 09-00 or later, IPv6 is supported. The following table lists the fields in which numeric values are affected in an environment that contains both IPv4 and IPv6.
  • When information is collected into the PD_FSR record, a system call is issued at the data collection interval. Because collecting information using the system call involves file system access, an attempt to execute the umount command to unmount the file system during information collection might fail. If the execution of the command fails, re-execute the umount command at a time different from the collection interval.
