iostat -d hdisk57 5

System configuration: lcpu=2 disk=24
                " Disk history since boot not available. "


Disks:        % tm_act     Kbps      tps    Kb_read   Kb_wrtn
hdisk57          0.0       0.0       0.0          0         0
hdisk57          0.0       0.0       0.0          0         0
hdisk57          0.0       0.0       0.0          0         0
hdisk57          0.0       0.0       0.0          0         0

We're mostly running aix and we have NMON running but we don't see the path percent used in NMON.

Any help is appreciated.
