ERXT0347/EZXT0347: I/O Queuing - I/O Processors Report

This report shows the usage of I/O processor (IOP) queues and delays caused by various I/O subsystems. It is broken down by I/O processor identifier. The data is summarized over all the intervals in the input data, EXTDATA type R78A.

The fields in the report are as follows:

IOP

I/O processor queue identifier.

ACTIVITY RATE

Average number of I/O requests placed in the IOP queue per second.

AVG QUE LENGTH

Average number of I/O requests waiting in the IOP queue.

IOP PC BUSY

Percentage of time the IOP was found busy, measured by taking samples.

IO STRT RATE

Average number of I/O requests started by the IOP per second. It should closely match the activity rate.

IO INT RATE

Average number of I/O interrupts processed by the IOP per second.

RETR ALL

Average percentage of retries among all I/O requests started (including retries).

RETR CP/DP/CU/DV BUS

Average percentage of retries that can be attributed to the selected channel path, director port, control unit, or device being busy.

RT/SSC ALL

Average ratio of retries to succesful I/O requests started, excluding retries.

RT/SSC CP/DP/CU/DV BUS

Average ratio of specific retries to successful I/O requests started. The retries are attributed to the selected channel path, director port, control unit, or device being busy.
