3.1.1.14 Cache Subsystem Activity Summary Report



The Cache Subsystem Activity Detail report includes all
information provided by the Cache Subsystem Activity Summary
report (see previous report, Figure 3-18).  In addition, a
report similar to the subsystem level report is provided for
each device attached to the control unit that had caching
activated over the RMF measurement interval.

Figure 3-19 shows a sample of the detailed output produced
for each device when the Cache Subsystem Activity Detail
report is requested.  The SAS source code used is in
sharedprefix.MICS.SOURCE member:

    o  @RMFCAC8 - for all systems producing the SMF type 74
                  subtype 5 Cache Subsystem Device Activity
                  record.

The CA MICS files used to generate the report are:

o  HARCVA - Cache Volume Activity
o  HARCCU - Cache Control Unit Activity
o  HARRRA - RAID Rank Activity

Note:  The HARCVA file is required to produce the Cache
       Detail report.  If you attempt to produce this report
       from a CA MICS timespan where the HARCVA file is not
       active, the report generator will produce a Cache
       Subsystem overview report only.

       The HARRRA file is required to produce the Cache
       Detail report.  However, if you attempt to produce
       this report from a CA MICS timespan where the HARRRA
       file is not active, the only missing information in
       the Detail Report will be the RAID Rank Activity
       section located after the Device Overview section.

For further information on the report format and contents,
see z/OS RMF Report Analysis (SC33-7991).

USAGE CONSIDERATIONS:  The information recorded in the type
74 subtype 5 cache subsystem activity record, the data source
for the HARCVA Cache Device Activity, HARCCU Cache Control
Unit Activity and HARRRA RAID Rank Activity files, contains
total cache subsystem activity.  Only one system in a shared
DASD environment needs to collect this record type.

If you collect type 74 subtype 5 records with more than one
system sharing a particular caching subsystem, and process
these records in CA MICS, your CA MICS database will contain
redundant information.  To avoid unnecessary processing and
excessive print volume, you can restrict your reporting to a
single SYSID as shown in section 3.1.1.14.

This report can be voluminous.  The summary report (CACHESUM)
avoids printing detailed information for each attached
volume.  It should be used to identify subsystems where more
detail is required.  Once a subsystem is identified as
interesting, you can use a SELECT statement to restrict
detail reporting to a particular subsystem.  Examples of
restricting the cache reporting to a single subsystem are
shown in section 3.1.1.14.
