In honor of this link: http://www.plainenglish.co.uk/ which I received via email yesterday from my friend Heather, I'm pasting in the man page from the VIOS command "seastat" (I swear I am directly copying and pasting the man page!:
Description
The seastat command generates a report to view, per client, shared
ethernet adapter statistics. To gather network statistics at a per-
client level, advanced accounting can be enabled on the Shared Ethernet
Adapter to provide more information about its network traffic. To
enable per-client statistics, the VIOS administrator can set the Shared
Ethernet Adapter accounting attribute to enabled. The default value is
disabled. When advanced accounting is enabled, the Shared Ethernet
Adapter keeps track of the hardware (MAC) addresses of all of the
packets it receives from the LPAR clients, and increments packet and
byte counts for each client independently. After advanced accounting is
enabled on the Shared Ethernet Adapter, the VIOS administrator can
generate a report to view per-client statistics by running the seastat
command. Note: Advanced accounting must be enabled on the Shared
Ethernet Adapter before the seastat command can print any statistics.
Wow. I'm afraid, all I can say is- wow. *heavy sigh*
There's just one thing I'm really not sure about, though... In order to use the seastat command to view per-client SEA statistics, do I need to enable advanced accounting????
