2.2 Real Storage Management Analysis

This section introduces virtual storage concepts as a
background for discussing the management of real storage in
MVS.  MVS virtual storage composition is described, with the
goal of defining those parts of the virtual address space
that require real memory.

Real Storage Management Analysis inquiries let you track the
use of real storage by MVS at any supported timespan and
summarization pattern.  Reports display system measurements
on real storage and swapping.  In addition to system level
reporting, you can display resource distribution patterns for
such resources as frame utilization, using the private
inquiry.

Section 2.2.4, MVS Concepts, defines the terms and explains
the basic dynamics of many of the elements used in real
storage analysis.  Depending on your familiarity with these
terms and concepts, you may find it useful to read this
section before proceeding with Sections 2.2.2 and 2.2.3.

The following sections describe the operation of the Real
Storage Management Analysis inquiries and how to use the
reports that are produced:
