Matt -
To review, there are several options:
1. Use SNMP. Scan the file netapp.mib and look for "Ops". You should find various protocols returning IOPs.
2. Parse sysstat output.
3. Use the APIs. There are 2 types of APIs: ONTAP and OnCommand (Operations Manger, DFM). The ONTAP APIs will only give you information about a specific storage controller. The OnCommand APIs can give you information about multiple storage controllers that the OnCommand server is managing. One person already gave you a communities pointer to the APIs. Here is a pointer to using Performance Management APIs: http://communities.netapp.com/docs/DOC-1044.
You should also check-out the NetApp communities. It contains a lot of information.

Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is a way to calculate the number of IOPS a filer is handling via SNMP or some way to script a collection ?
Thanks
Matt
