Hi all,

I know over the years I’ve had hundreds of enquiries regarding the XML statistics, what they contains and how they can be decoded. Some of you have written your own parsers and need to know when new things have been added or items changed.

Google isn’t much help as it finds, the old 5.1.0 page only…

So for those of you that care, you can find the most up to date definitions in the Knowledge Center. It is kind of hidden away under the ‘Troubleshooting’ section, and against the task where you can start the statistics collection…

Here is a link and the URL :

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/STSLR9_8.2.1/com.ibm.fs9100_821.doc/svc_clusterstartstatswin_20qm0u.html

Note that there are a couple of extra fields in the Vdisk CA section (I think these were added in 7.4 or 7.5!), which are documented above.

PS. At least now when I am looking for them, I can find them again via this post 😉
