5-2 CHAPTER 5: BASELINING STATISTICS

Setting Baselines 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.

Enabling or Disabling Baselines

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:

system baseline requestedState

2Enter disabled or enabled at the prompt.
