During data synchronization and transmission today, if you want to use the iostat command to monitor the I/O status of the disk, this package cannot be found. This package is not installed by default. Haha, there is no way to install it on your own.
[Root @ testhost ~] # Iostat
-Bash: iostat: command not found
Find the sysstat package in the system disk and install it using the following command. The sysstat package contains iostat, mpstat, sar, and sa.
[Root @ testhost ~] # Rpm-ivh sysstat-7.0.2-3.el5.x86_64.rpm
Warning: sysstat-7.0.2-3.el5.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 37017186
