Does anyone know if the equivalent of the old Dynaprobe hardware
monitor exists today - for the Alpha; for Storage Works?
(I know, I'm showing my age, Dynaprobe goes back to the days when IBM and
the BUNCH still existed. We used it on an RCA Spectra - the old 360 Clone.)

The particular question we are looking to answer is:

What SCSI activity is taking place across the various controllers
        to what devices
        reads
        writes
        cache hits
        How much backplane traffic is each controller generating.

Both on KZPSA strings and especially on KZPSC strings.
        
The various programs like Monitor only generate aggregate I/O
numbers and don't give us any idea of what we are really doing.

VMUBC doesn't give any information about AdvFS.....

Does this mean that the UBC and AdvFS don't go together?
