NAME
     pmdaxvm - XVM performance metrics domain agent

SYNOPSIS
     /var/pcp/pmdas/xvm/pmdaxvm [-d domain] [-l logfile]

DESCRIPTION
     pmdaxvm is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports XVM
     volume element and physical volume performance metrics (IO operations per
     second and throughput), as well as other metrics specific to each of the
     striped, mirrored, and concatenated volume types.

     A brief description of the pmdaxvm command line options follows:

     -d	  It is absolutely crucial that the performance metrics domain number
	  specified here is unique and consistent.  That is, domain should be
	  different for every PMDA on the one host, and the same domain number
	  should be used for the same PMDA on all hosts.

     -l	  By default a log file named xvm.log is written in the directory
	  where pmdaxvm is started, i.e. since pmcd(1) makes /var/adm/pcplog
	  (or $PCP_LOGDIR if set in the environment) its current directory,
	  the default logfile for pmdaxvm is ${PCP_LOGDIR-
	  /var/adm/pcplog}/xvm.log.  If the log file cannot be created or is
	  not writable, output is written to standard error instead.

	  The -l option specifies an alternative name for the log file.

INSTALLATION
     In order for a host to export the names, help text and values for the xvm
     performance metrics, do the following as root:

	  # cd /usr/pcp/pmdas/xvm
	  # ./Install

     If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:

	  # cd /usr/pcp/pmdas/xvm
	  # ./Remove

     pmdaxvm is launched by pmcd(1) and should never be executed directly.
     The Install and Remove scripts notify pmcd(1) when the agent is installed
     or removed.

FILES
     /etc/pmcd.conf
