A graphic tool to see Vol Groups free size

Hi.

I need a graphic tool for AIX to see if there is any free space on a Voluùme Group.

Is there anything which does that ? (:-()

tks

Sure is. It's called "Web Based Systems Manager". You can set it up to run over the web, but you can also run it to any X Server as a java app.

To run it, make sure your DISPLAY is correctly set and just type

Code:

wsm

As with smit, there are fastpaths, but you can get to everything through wsm. It looks rather like Windows or Mandrake Control Centres so you can't go too far wrong.

tks, but what I need, it's a tool which represents graphically the logical volumes in a Volume group ...

Come on, this is UNIX. You should be grateful for any graphics at all ;-)

I'm not aware of an app that does that, though it doesn't sound too difficult to write (e.g. in python, java or similar).

The Motif File System Monitor can be downloaded from:

It displays the capacity of the file systems in a graphical format.

Hope this helps.
