3.2.1.2.4 Detail VMX CP Owned Volume Summary

This report produces a tabular listing of activity on
CP-owned VOLSERs for the duration of the period specified in
the run-time execution parameters.  It includes those volumes
that are owned by this system, and those that are shared by
multiple systems in a Cross System Extensions (CSE) complex,
if CSE is in use.  In VM, it additionally includes those
volumes that contain mapped minidisks.

INTENDED USE:

   Allows analysis of page and spool activity on CP-owned
   volumes, including such items as average and maximum slots
   used, I/O activity, I/O queuing measures, and
   interference from user I/O.  This report can be used to
   detect when page or spools spaces are approaching
   capacity, and bottlenecks due to queuing of I/O or
   interference from I/O activity for non-system (user)
   activity.

FORMAT:

   A tabular report in VOLSER order where each column
   represents a different measurement associated with a given
   VOLSER:

        PAGE SLOTS USED AVG - The average number of page
        slots in use on all paging areas defined for this
        volume during the reporting period

        PAGE SLOTS USED % - The percentage of available page
        slots on the volume that the average used figure
        above represents

        PAGE SLOTS USED MAX - The maximum number of page
        slots that were in use on all paging areas defined
        for this volume during the reporting period

        PAGE SLOTS USED % - The percentage of available page
        slots on the volume that the maximum used figure
        above represents

        PAGE SLOTS USED TIME - The time of day when the
        maximum used figure occurred

        PAGE I/O READS - The total number of paging read
        operations to this VOLSER during the reporting period

        PAGE I/O WRITES  - The total number of paging write
        operations to this VOLSER during the reporting period

        SPOOL SLOTS USED AVG - The average number of spool
        slots in use on all spool areas defined for this
        volume during the reporting period

        SPOOL SLOTS USED % - The percentage of available
        spool slots on the volume that the average used
        figure above represents

        SPOOL SLOTS USED MAX - The maximum number of spool
        slots that were in use on all spool areas defined for
        this volume during the reporting period

        SPOOL SLOTS USED % - The percentage of available
        spool slots on the volume that the maximum used
        figure above represents

        SPOOL SLOTS USED TIME - The time of day when the
        maximum used figure occurred

        SPOOL I/O READS - The total number of spool read
        operations to this VOLSER during the reporting period

        SPOOL I/O WRITES  - The total number of spool write
        operations to this VOLSER during the reporting period

        I/O QUEUED AVG - The average number of page/spool
        I/Os queued to this VOLSER during the reporting
        period

        I/O QUEUED MAX - The maximum number of page/spool
        I/Os queued to this VOLSER during the reporting
        period

        I/O QUEUED TIME -  The time of day when the
        maximum queued figure occurred

        USER I/O INTERFERENCE AVG - The average number of
        times per monitor interval that user I/O interfered
        with paging and/or spooling during the reporting
        period

        USER I/O INTERFERENCE MAX -  The maximum number of
        times during one monitor interval that user I/O
        interfered with paging and/or spooling during the
        reporting period

        USER I/O INTERFERENCE TIME - The time of day when
        the maximum interference figure occurred   

An example of this report is provided in Figure 3-17.

   Tabular Report:  VMXTX3

DATA SOURCE (File/Timespan):

   VMXCPV01 - DETAIL

DATA ELEMENTS USED:

   VOLSER   - Volume Serial Number
   CPVPAGSL - Page Slots in Use on This Volume
   CPVPCPSU - Percent Spool Slots Used
   CPVPSLOT - Total Page Slots on This Volume
   CPVPAGRD - Total Page Reads
   CPVPAGWR - Total Page Writes
   CPVSPLSL - Spool Slots in Use on This Volume
   CPVPCSSU - Percent Page Slots Used
   CPVSSLOT - Total Spool Slots on This Volume
   CPVSPLRD - Total Spool Reads
   CPVSPLWR - Total Spool Writes
   CPVIOQCT - Page/Spool I/Os Queued or Active
   CPVUSRIO - User I/O Interference Count
   CPVPAGAR - Number of Page Areas on Volume
   CPVSPLAR - Number of Spool Areas on Volume
   CPVSHRD  - CSE Shared Volume Indicator
   CPVDUMPV - Dump Only Volume Indicator

CALCULATIONS:

   As a first step, the maximum values and timestamps are
   pulled out of the detail data, and put into a separate
   file.  As part of this process, the following calculations
   are performed for maximum percentage of page/spool used:

        MAXPCPAG = 100 * MAXPAGSL / MAXPSLOT;
          where MAXPAGSL is the maximum value of CPVPAGSL
          encountered, and MAXPSLOT was the value of CPVPSLOT
          at the time

        MAXPCSPL = 100 * MAXSPLSL / MAXSSLOT;
          where MAXSPLSL is the maximum value of CPVSPLSL
          encountered, and MAXSSLOT was the value of CPVSSLOT
          at the time

   The detail data is the read again, and summarized into
   another file.  Then the following calculations are
   performed:

        AVGPAGSL = CPVPAGSL / INTERVLS;

        AVGSPLSL = CPVSPLSL / INTERVLS;

        AVGIOQCT = CPVIOQCT / INTERVLS;

        AVGUSRIO = CPVUSRIO / INTERVLS;

USAGE CONSIDERATIONS:

   None
