Hello Suad,
you could use the command topas which is part of the perfagent.tools fileset
or
monitor, which will need to be compiled.
Monitor is available from
ftp://ftp.mesa.nl/pub/monitor/
or
http://www.mesa.nl/pub/monitor/

Subject: Re: Bleeding edge stuff (LTO)
We have, but our SAN switches/Gateways are IBM re-badges so we had them
"make it work".
There are still issues, but they are limitations of drivers at the client
OS.
TSM system: AIX 4.3.3 (TSM 4.1.2)
Library: 3584, 4 drives, SAN connected via SCSI Gateway
So far, it's flying along quite happily.
Cheers, Suad

BTW. Anyone know of a utility to measure Mbps throughput on a network
interface
under AIX?
