System z kernel features – FCP
•
FCP performance data collection:I/O statistics (2.6.25)
•
The FCP adapter statistics (available since IBM System z9) provide a variety of
information about the virtual adapter (subchannel). In order to collect this
information the zfcp device driver is extended on one side to query the adapter
and on the other side summarize certain values which can then be fetched on
demand. This information is made available via files (attributes) in the sysfs
filesystem.
•
