The contents of the cluster-wide association and channel counters database may be displayed with the PMDF COUNTERS/SHOW command. A PMDF COUNTER/SYNCHRONIZE command is implicitly performed by this command; the database contents are synchronized with the in-memory section(s) before being displayed. Note that as part of the implicit PMDFCOUNTERS/SYNCHRONIZE operation, if the cluster-wide, on-disk database does not already exist, the PMDF COUNTERS/SHOW command will create it. And if the node-specific, in-memory cache of counters does not already exist, the PMDF COUNTERS/SHOW command will create it too.
