  This might be a rehash (were only 3 weeks old on NEWS), but here goes...
About a year ago, several people from our organization met with DEC's disk 
experts on "futures" in the disk area.  Out of that meeting came a promise for
some (then existing) software that runs on the HSC which monitors the actual 
throughput (i/o's per second) of each disk.  We never received that software 
and now find ourselves in even greater need for it.   The main person who 
promised the software was Ken Bates.  
  Questions:

1)  Does anyone out there have a way (whether it's this software or another
    method) of monitoring disk activity regardless of which node it's coming
    from?  (MON CLUSTER won't handle our 48 node MI, so don't even bother
    recommending that...)

2)  Can anyone forward this to, or pass on Ken's Internet address so I can ask
    him myself?
 

Thanks.
