675.0. "DU 3.2f and Datacollector" by MDR01::TERESA (MCS Madrid) Fri Feb 28 1997 08:26

    I'm trying to delivery a Capacity Planning Service on DEC UNIX 3.2F
    using Polycenter Capacity Planning 4.0.
    
    My problem is Data collector:
    
    As User's Guide indicates, there are several options for data
    collectors:
    
    -1 Collect data with ECP 4.0 Datacollector.
    -2 Polycenter Performance Solution (fullSail) datacollector .arc files.
    -3 OpenAviator (third party product)
    
    I have tryied option 1 but unfortunately accounting and snapshot files
    doesn't capture any disk data information.
    
    Then, i look for a Performance Solution (FullSail) version supported on
    D.U. 3.2F but :
    		FullSail 1.4a is supported only with D.U. 3.2a and D.U.
    		3.2b ,
    		FullSail 1.5 is supported from D.U 4.0
    
    I've wroten 535 on FULL_SAIL conference asking for a version supported
    on D.U. 3.2f and I'm waiting for an answer.
    
    Could anybody help me?, It's any Digital datacollector available for
    3.2F or is OpenAviator the only solution?
    
    
    Thanks in advance.

Teresa,

I would suggest that you use the POLYCENTER Performance Advisor Data Collector
for Digital UNIX.  This product has been sold to Computer Associates but is
still accessible for Digital consulting.  Refer to the notes files

	noted::perf-advisor-osf.note

I beleive that note 220 has a pointer to a kit and paks.

This collector is still the best collector for CP on Digital UNIX platforms. 
Unfortunately, CA has not been very speedy in producing a new kit for 4.0
(still in beta test) or resolving problems.
