7.2.5 Device Level I/O Activity Data Elements(SMFDEVS)

The sharedprefix.MICS.PARMS(SMFDEVS) member permits you to
create additional sets of I/O activity data elements for
categories that you define.

For example, you may want to create a set of I/O activity
data elements for a particular device type, for example 3390
mod 4 DASD devices.  Or you may want to create a set of I/O
activity data elements for steps that allocate devices to a
particular DDNAME, such as SYSUT1.  The SMFDEVS member allows
you to define sets of I/O activity data elements that meet
the reporting needs of your organization.

Refer to the following sections for instructions on how to
define and implement your customized I/O activity data
elements.
