2.4.1 Functional Description


The I/O Configuration Analysis inquiries produce six primary
reports.  Each of these reports allows you to analyze a
different facet of the performance of your I/O configuration.
The reports are:

  o  Shared DASD Analysis Report - Details the utilization
     and performance impacts of DASD devices that are shared
     by multiple systems.  A sample Shared DASD Analysis
     Report is shown in Figure 2-82.

  o  I/O Response Time Component Analysis Report  - Breaks
     device response time into internal queuing, queue for
     control unit, queue for device, and start I/O times.  A
     sample I/O Response Time Component Analysis Report is
     shown in Figure 2-83.

  o  DASD Skew Analysis Report  - Analyzes DASD device
     strings to identify strings that have heavily utilized
     devices that adversely influence the performance of the
     remainder of the devices on the string.  A sample DASD
     Skew Analysis Report is shown in Figure 2-84.

  o  DASD Multiple Volume Analysis Report - Provides
     suggested volume groupings for DASD volumes to higher
     density devices.  An analysis of existing DASD volumes
     can also be produced.  A sample DASD Multiple Volume
     Analysis report is shown in Figure 2-85.

  o  Tape Drive Simulation Analysis Report - Analyzes the
     utilization of the tape drive subsystem.  Modeling the
     effects of changes in the tape drive subsystem's
     workload can also be done.  A sample Tape Drive
     Simulation Analysis report is shown in Figure 2-86.

  o  Channel Resource Usage Summary Report - Analyzes the
     performance of each FICON channel across a user provided
     time interval to quantify channel performance and to
     identify potential sources of performance problems.

     Additionally, two other reports, the Processor Complex &
     Channel Configuration and the Channel Resource Usage
     Detail reports, and the Channel Service Time graphs can
     be optionally produced as well.  Each of these reports
     will be discussed in more detail in a later section.

The operation and interpretation of each of these reports are
discussed in detail in the remainder of this chapter.  The
algorithms used to produce these reports are discussed in the
technique tutorials in Sections 2.4.3.2, 2.4.4.2, 2.4.5.2,
2.4.6.2, 2.4.7.2 and 2.4.8.2.
