Wouldn't that just show a delta of how many blocks have been allocated?
That do not really correspond to I/O throughput.
That said, what does the monitor operation_rate tell? Is it QIOs, disk
blocks, disk requests, or something else?
If it would actually be disk blocks, then Sampsa can indeed deduce I/O
rates from it, since we know the size of a disk block.
However, QIOs can cover many disk blocks, and so can I/O requests.
While I'm at it - a slightly different question. On a VMS system (VMS
7.3 on a VAX), I now have like hundreds of telnet connections that are
in a SUSP state. This have gone so far that I cannot establish any more
connections to the system. I have no idea what people/probes/robots have
been doing, but it seems TCP/IP or telnet daemon in VMS 7.3 have some
issues.
But my first question is, how do I get rid of all these processes? Do I
have to kill each one, giving the PID, or is there some better way of
getting this unstuck?

It's a performance metric that is maintained in/by VMS about the number of I/O
operations to the disks. Maintaining block counts would be more/only meaning-
ful on a per-disk basis. That's generally not something that's a performance
metric.
This is a very simple procedure to get you a block/second count. Put this in
a file (BLOCKS_PER_SECOND.COM, for example) and execute it with the disk name
in question. (ie. $ @BLOCKS_PER_SECOND DKA100)
$ 100$: BLOCKS_THEN = F$getdvi(P1,"FREEBLOCKS")
$ WAIT ::01
$ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT BLOCKS_THEN-F$getdvi(P1,"FREEBLOCKS") ! THEN - NOW

I'm assuming you did not specify /ITEM. =46rom the MONITOR HELP:
=20
When the /ITEM qualifier is omitted, the default is = :
:
OPERATION_ Specifies that I/O operation rate statistics are
RATE displayed for each disk.
=20
What's you concern, if any?
Yes, I did this but the operation rate does not give me an indication of =
how many block/second are beyond read/written, or does it?
