Function: Provides a detailed account of the effect of
certain space management actions on individual
data sets and volumes.
Many automated storage management software
products, such as DFHSM, allow users to delete or
migrate older data sets, and to release unused
space from data sets that have been allocated
incorrectly. This report allows users to simulate
these actions and then tune these threshold values
so that the desired result will be achieved.
Any combination of these different actions can be
simulated--automatic deletion, automatic
migration, and automatic release of over-allocated
space.
Features: Users installing automated storage management
products can choose thresholds that allow them to
start using their new software sooner, without
having an adverse effect on data availability.
Users already using automated products can use the
charts to set new thresholds, or to ensure that
their existing thresholds are effective.
As a user option, VSAM files can be included in
the analysis.
This detailed report would probably be run after
approximate thresholds were defined, to double
check the effect of those values on a data set by
data set basis.
SMS
Issues: This report can be used to simulate most of the
actions that are provided through the SMS
management class. This simulation will ensure the
values you specify in your management class
definition will achieve the desired result. After
implementation, the report can be used to monitor
the effect of proposed changes to the management
class definition, before actually making the
change.
COLUMN DESCRIPTIONS
Data Set Name
The name of the data set.
Action Taken
The simulated action that would have been taken
against this data set. This indicates if the data
set would have been MIGRATED, DELETED, or had
excess space RELEASED.
Date Created
The date that the data set was first allocated to
a DASD volume.
Date Expires
The data a data set can be deleted or overwritten
by another data set.
Date Last Used
The date that a data set was last referenced.
Days Since Create
The number of days between the date the data set
was created and the date the data was collected.
Days Since Used
The number of days between the date the data set
was last used and the date the data was collected.
Trks Freed
The number of tracks formerly occupied by this
data set that would have been freed by the
simulation actions. For migrated or deletion data
sets, this will be the same value as tracks
allocated, but for released data sets it will
indicate the number of tracks that would have been
released.
Trks Alloc
The number of tracks allocated to this data set on
the current volume.
Trks Used
The number of tracks actually in use by this data
set on the current volume.
Space Alloc (KB)
The amount of space allocated by the data set,
expressed in thousands of bytes (kilobytes).
Data Set Org
The organization of data set.
