Good luck

what type of info are you looking for - usage, throughput rates, virtual memory, etc? Both HP and AIX use iostat and provide different info in different ways. Just peek at the man pages.

I wanted to the know the i/o request size of each disks (looks like iostat does the job) so that i can set an inode size so as to make the system more efficient.
