Figure 2-106. IOA DASD Skew Analysis Report Inquiry Panel
Figure 2-107 shows a sample DASD Skew Analysis Report created
by the inquiry entries shown above. The following items are
shown in the figure:
INTERVAL The time and date of the first HARDVA File
START: observation included in the analysis.
INTERVAL The time and date of the last HARDVA File
END: observation included in the analysis.
DURATION: The total number of hours summarized by report,
rounded up to the nearest hour.
SYSID: The system identifier.
CU ADR/ The control unit address, CA MICS data element
CU/PATH: CUADDR.
For MVS/XA and ESA this column is replaced by
the value CU/PATH. In MVS/XA or ESA control
unit number is the equivalent data element to
control unit address in MVS/370.
For data derived from RMF 4.2 and above, the
control unit name is also shown in the line just
below the control unit number.
LOG. CHAN/ The logical channel number that serves the
LCU: control unit, CA MICS data element LOGCHAN.
For MVS/XA and ESA, this column is replaced by
the value LCU (logical control unit). The
logical control unit data element was introduced
in MVS/XA. There is no corresponding data
element to logical channel in MVS/XA.
AV CHAN The weighted average physical channel service
SERV MS/ time for the physical channels that comprise the
AV LCU logical channel.
SERV MS:
For MVS/XA and ESA, this column is replaced by
the AV LCU SERV MS, the average connect time for
devices on the logical control unit.
TOTAL SIO The total rate of start I/Os (SIOs) issued per
RATE/ second to the devices on the string by the
TOTAL system.
SSCH RTE:
For MVS/XA and ESA, this column is replaced by
TOTAL SSCH RTE, the total rate of start sub-
channel commands issued per second to the
string.
TOTAL The total utilization of the head of string
% HOS: (HOS). For pre-MVS/XA systems, the value is
calculated by multiplying the total number of
SIOs times the average channel service time in
milliseconds, divided by the duration.
For MVS/XA and ESA systems, the value is
calculated by dividing the sum of the device
connect times by the duration.
TYPE LINE: There are seven lines of detailed data presented
for each device string. The TYPE LINE values
describe the values that are found in the next
eight columns, DEV 1 through DEV 8. These
columns correspond to device addresses 0-7 and
8-F for non-3380 device types. For 3380s
without the Device Level Selection feature, the
first four columns are used to represent the
internal device strings. They are:
String Addresses
------ ---------
1 0,1,8,9
2 2,3,A,B
3 4,5,C,D
4 6,7,E,F
The types of lines are:
o DEVADDR - The device address on the string,
DEVADDR. For MVS/XA and ESA, this row is
replaced by the value DEV NO., the
corresponding data element to device address
in MVS/370.
o SIO RT - The rate of start I/Os (SIOs per
second) issued to each device by the system,
DVASIO. For MVS/XA and ESA systems, this row
is replaced by SSCH RT, the rate of start
subchannel commands issued to the device.
o AV SERV - The average service time for the
device, DVAAVSTM.
o % PATH - The percent of the path used by the
device, computed like TOTAL % HOS. See
above.
o VOLSER - The volume serial number of the
volume mounted on the device.
o STGGRP - The DFSMS storage group name. DFSMS
(Data Facility Storage Management Subsystem)
allows for pooling physical DASD volumes.
Each pool is defined by the installation's
DASD administrator, and is managed by DFSMS.
o DEVTYPE - The DASD device type of each
reported volume. (For example, 3380J, or
3390).
CV: The coefficient of variation of the non-zero
percent path busy values for the devices on the
string. It is important to note that idle
devices are not included in the calculations.
To calculate the coefficient of variation, at
least one of the percent device busy values must
be non-zero. The higher the coefficient of
variation, the more significant the skew problem
of the string.
SKEW: The skew coefficient of the non-zero percent
path busy values for the devices on the string.
It is important to note that idle devices are
not included in the calculations. To calculate
the skew coefficient, at least two of the
percent device busy values must be non-zero.
The higher the skew coefficient, the more
significant the skew problem of the string.
If the Device Level Selection (DLS) feature is in effect,
then there will only be one set of values for CU/PATH, LCU,
AV CHAN SERV MS, TOTAL SSCH RTE, TOTAL % HOS, CV, and SKEW
presented for the up to 16 device addresses associated with
each control unit or control unit pair.
If the Device Level Selection Enhanced (DLSE) feature is in
effect, reflecting the utilization of 3990-2 or 3990-3
controllers, then there will only be one set of values for
CU/PATH, LCU, AV CHAN SERV MS, TOTAL SSCH RTE, TOTAL % HOS,
CV, and SKEW presented for the up to 64 device addresses
associated with each logical control unit.
