3.2.1.2.6 Detail VMX DASD Cache Usage Report (by Device)

This report produces a tabular listing of cache usage on
3880-23 and 3990-3 control units by VOLSER for the duration
of the period specified in the run-time execution parameters.
The report is in two formats: one for 3880-23 controllers,
and one for 3990-3 controllers.  These are identified by the
report titles.

INTENDED USE:

   For analysis of cache usage in terms of how much activity
   is directed to cache VOLSERs; whether transfers to and
   from DASD are being avoided by using cache; and what
   percentage of bytes read are from cache, from DASD
   bypassing cache, and from DASD due to read misses.  This
   report can be used to detect when cache is being utilized
   inefficiently, and for monitoring changes to the cache
   environment.

FORMAT 3880-23 Control Units:

   A tabular report, in ascending order, of device address
   where each column represents a different measurement
   associated with a given VOLSER:

        READ HIT RATIO - The ratio of the sum of all "search
        and read normal" and "search and read sequential"
        requests that were satisfied from cache to the total
        number of read requests to the volume.

        WRITE/READ RATIO - The ratio of the sum of all "write
        normal" and "write sequential" requests to the sum of
        all "search and read normal" and "search and read
        sequential" requests.

        READ REQUESTS   -  The sum of all "search and read
        normal" and "search and read sequential" requests to
        the volume.

        WRITE REQUESTS   -  the sum of all "write normal" and
        "write sequential" requests.

        PCT OF DASD READ CACHE - The percentage of all bytes
        transferred from this VOLSER that were transferred
        from cache to the channel without DASD access.

        PCT OF DASD READ DASD - The percentage of all bytes
        transferred from this VOLSER that were transferred
        from DASD to cache to the channel due to read misses.

        PCT OF DASD READ BYPASS - The percentage of all bytes
        transferred from this VOLSER that were transferred
        from DASD to the channel, bypassing cache access.


   An example of this report is shown in Figures 3-19 and
   3-20.

   Tabular Report:  VMXTXB

DATA SOURCE (File/Timespan):

   VMXCDI01 - DETAIL

DATA ELEMENTS USED:

   VMXDVSID - Host Subchannel ID
   CDISDID  - Storage Director Identification
   CDICUTYP - Control Unit Type
   CDIOCSTA - Overall Caching Status
   CDICAPAV - Available Subsystem Storage Capacity
   CDICAPOF - Offline Subsystem Storage Capacity
   CDISRNRQ - Search and Read Normal Requests
   CDISRSRQ - Search and Read Sequential Requests
   CDISRNRH - Search and Read Normal Request Hits
   CDISRSRH - Search and Read Sequential Request Hits
   CDIWNRQ  - Write Normal Requests
   CDIWSQRQ - Write Sequential Requests
   CDIDACBX - Bytes Transferred From DASD To Channel
   CDICACBX - Bytes Transferred From Cache To Channel
   CDIDCCBX - Bytes Xfr From DASD To Cache and Channel

CALCULATIONS:

   A number of elements are calculated to produce this
   report. They are as follows:

   READREQ = CDISRNRQ + CDISRSRQ;

   WRITEREQ = CDIWNRQ + CDIWSQRQ;

   IF READREQ > 0 THEN DO;
      RHRATIO = 100 * ((CDISRNRH + CDISRSRH) / READREQ);
      WRRATIO = 100 * (WRITEREQ / READREQ);
   END;
   ELSE DO;
      RHRATIO = 0;
      WRRATIO = 0;
   END;

   BYTEXFRD = SUM(CDIDACBX,CDICACBX,CDIDCCBX);
   IF BYTEXFRD > 0 THEN DO;
      CACHE  = 100 * (CDICACBX / BYTEXFRD);
      DASD   = 100 * (CDIDCCBX / BYTEXFRD);
      BYPASS = 100 * (CDIDACBX / BYTESFRD);
   END;
   ELSE DO;
      CACHE = 0; DASD = 0; BYPASS = 0;
   END;
