2.5.3.3 Common Area Storage Usage Report


The Common Area Storage Usage Report tracks the allocation of
virtual storage at a monthly, weekly, daily, hourly, or
detail level.  Figure 2-167 shows an example of a monthly
Common Area Storage Usage Report and Figure 2-168 shows the
hourly form of the report.  In the hourly form, data for one
day is displayed by hour using the DAYS time-span of the MVS
Virtual Storage System Usage File (SCPVSM).

REPORT OPTIONS

The Common Area Storage Usage Report supports standard time
selection options, as well as SYSID selection and external
data selection.  These options are controlled by the control
options discussed in Section 2.5.6.

DATA ELEMENTS

The elements reported are divided into the following
categories:

    o  CSA Average Values
    o  SQA Average Values
    o  CSA Average by Key

All categories contain above and below 16MB usage values.

CSA AVERAGE VALUES

CSA Average Values is shown in terms of the total allocated
storage and the average amount of unused storage.

ALLOCATED    The amount of storage (pages) allocated actively
CSA:         in the CSA, from the VSMAUCSL and VSMAUCSH
             elements.

FREE PAGES   The total amount of storage available in the
(BYTES):     CSA, from the VSMAFCSL and VSMAFCSH elements.

LARGEST      The total amount of storage available in the CSA
FREE BLOCK:  in a contiguous block, from the VSMABCSL and
             VSMABCSH elements.

ALLOCATED    The total amount of storage (pages) allocated in
AREA SIZE:   the CSA, from the VSMATCSL and VSMATCSH
             elements.  This measurement represents a "high
             water" mark of storage allocated within the CSA.
             The  difference between this measurement and the
             ALLOCATED CSA represents storage fragmentation.

SQA AVERAGE VALUES

SQA Average Values are shown in terms of the total allocated
storage and the average amount of unused storage.

ALLOCATED    The amount of storage (pages) allocated actively
SQA:         in the SQA, from the VSMAUSQL and VSMAUSQH
             elements.

FREE PAGES   The total amount of storage available in the
(BYTES):     SQA, from the VSMAFSQL and VSMAFSQH elements.

LARGEST      The total amount of storage available in the SQA
FREE BLOCK:  in a contiguous block, from the VSMABSQL and
             VSMABSQH elements.

ALLOCATED    The total amount of storage (pages) allocated in
AREA SIZE:   the SQA, from the VSMATSQL and VSMATSQH
             elements.  This measurement represents a "high
             water" mark of storage allocated within the SQA.
             The difference between this measurement and the
             ALLOCATED CSA represents storage fragmentation
             for SQA storage residing below 16MB.  For SQA
             residing above 16MB, it normally has an
             allocated area equal to the specified ESQA size.
CSA AVERAGE BY KEY

CSA Average by Key values are shown in terms of the total
allocated storage and represent MVS Storage Keys 0 through 7
and 8 through F.

KEY x        The amount of storage (pages) allocated in MVS
ALLOCATION:  Storage Key x in the CSA, from the VSMAxCSL and
             VSMAxCSH elements, where x represents one of the
             MVS storage protection keys.

A reporting option permits either reporting by storage key or
reporting by storage subpool and key.  Additionally, it is
possible optionally to produce all of the above-reported
elements with MINIMUM/MAXIMUM values to provide for more
detailed analysis.
