Setting a baseline resets the counters to zero. The accumulated totals since power up are maintained by the system. The baseline is time-stamped.

To set a baseline, enter the following commands from the top level of the Administration Console:

system baseline set

A message similar to the following appears:

Baseline set at 08/07/96 10:42:52 AM.

Baselining is automatically enabled when a baseline is set.

When you re-enable a baseline, the counters return to the values accumulated from the most recent baseline you set. Disabling a baseline returns the counters to the total accumulated values since the last power up.

To enable the current baseline:

1From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

system baseline requestedState

You are prompted to enter a new baseline state, as shown here:

Enter new value (disabled,enabled) [enabled]:

2Enter disabled or enabled at the prompt.

The new value is conﬁrmed as shown here :

Baseline set at 08/07/96 10:42:52 AM has been disabled.
