Compaq Storage Performance Monitor for Linux Version 1.0 Requirements: QT 3.0 or later from www.trolltech.com Disk-io kernel patch that is required in order to get disk stats on all devices. Alan Swanson has written this and another kernel patch alternative is written by Mingming Cao at IBM. Alan's patch is available at www.swanso.uklinux.net and Mingming is working on getting his solution into the 2.5.X kernel. I will provide links on the cspm.sourceforge.net website pretty soon. Installing: Install Qt 3.0 as required. Export the variables QTDIR and LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This should already been done while you were installing Qt. Untar the file spm.tar.gz using "tar xvzf spm.tar.gz", of course if you are reading this file, this first step is already done. Compiling: Issue the following command to compile cspm: make all This will create a binary call spm in the current directory that was compiled from. Issue the command to start the monitor: ./spm Known Issues. Upon starting up spm, and you get a segmentation fault, make sure that you have set the QTDIR and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable. The monitor will also get a segmentation fault if: 1. The monitor is running and you mount a new filesystem,add a controller, and or disk. If this happens just restart the monitor and everything will work as normal. The same is true upon removal of filesystems or devices. This bug will be fixed in the next release.
