Monitoring tape drive performance with Symantec NetBackup in RHEL 5

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • We are looking for a way to accurately measure throughput on media servers running Symantec NetBackup accessing tape drives.  It appears there are no /proc interfaces to retrieve SCSI tape drive performance data from the st driver so in turn iostat is unable to measure throughput.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5
  • tape drives
  • Symantec NetBackup
