I think it's Really Cool that SGI has given new life to PCP by
releasing it as open source.
In a past life I used it to monitor Origin 2000 systems.
Unfortunately my current environment is largely devoid of SGI's. I
sure miss IRIX! Fortunately, we have Linux. PCP is a natural there.
Then there are the Tru64 Alphas. Don't even get me started on how
pathetic AdvFS is compared to XFS (I can't wait to toast the Alphas
with XFS on IA32 ;-)
Getting PCP up and running on our Tru64 Alphas really greases the
skids for using PCP on a broader scale.
I've begun porting the code. So far things are going pretty well.
With not too much effort I have pmcd up and talking.
I also have some Sun and HP boxes to deal with, so I expect to be
playing there soon.
Is anyone else working on PCP ports?
There was some talk a while back about the viz tools being available
as part of ACE. I need to follow-up with my SGI contacts about that.
Has anyone confirmed whether they are available separately?
I wouldn't mind supporting the efforts of the PCP team by purchasing
the viz tools.
Keep up the great work!
Brian
