Volume Configuration / Summary (STGEPB)


Source:    VCAVOA file at the DETAIL timespan
           HARDVA file at the DAYS timespan

Function:  Concisely summarizes performance and capacity
           information at the device type level.  This
           information is reported for each unique device
           type and for each logical system (SYSID).

           This makes it easy to identify potential
           performance, capacity or balance problems at the
           device type level.

           Users planning for storage products that support
           volume pooling can use this report to design
           volume groupings that will find combinations that
           provide optimum availability and free space.

Features:  Two different CA MICS files are combined to
           produce this report; one provides space
           information and the other provides performance
           information.  The HARDVA file can be filtered at
           the hour or zone level so that the performance
           information reflects a specific time period.

           Volumes that appear in the HARDVA file but not the
           VCAVOA file (because they were not scanned) can be
           included or excluded by user option.  If included,
           values for these volumes are not included in the
           space totals, but are included in the response
           time and I/O rate values.

           Generation of the summary report is automatic.

COLUMN DESCRIPTIONS

    Device Type
           The type of I/O device.

    Number of Volumes
           The number of volumes found within the input data
           that were found to have this device type.

    Total Capacity (MB)
           The total potential capacity of all the volumes of
           this device type, expressed in millions of bytes
           (megabytes).

    Space Allocated (MB)
           The total amount of space allocated by all the
           data sets on all the volumes of this device type,
           expressed in millions of bytes (megabytes).

    Space Used (MB)
           The total amount of space used by all the data
           sets on all the volumes of this device type,
           expressed in millions of bytes (megabytes).

    Space Free (MB)
           The total amount of space free (unallocated) on
           all the volumes of this device type, expressed in
           millions of bytes (megabytes).

    Total Data Sets
           The total number of data sets residing on all the
           volumes with this device type.

    Non-VSAM # Data Sets
           The number of non-VSAM data sets residing on all
           the volumes with this device type.

    Non-VSAM Alloc (MB)
           The total amount of space, expressed in millions
           of bytes (megabytes), allocated by all the
           non-VSAM data sets residing on volumes with this
           device type.

    VSAM # Data Sets
           The number of VSAM data sets residing on all the
           volumes with this device type.

    VSAM Alloc (MB)
           The total amount of space, expressed in millions
           of bytes (megabytes), allocated by all the VSAM
           data sets residing on volumes with this device
           type.

    Average I/O Rate
           The total number of I/O requests per second being
           received by all the volumes with this device type.
           This value is the sum of the rates for the
           individual volumes within the summarization.

    Average Response Time
           The average time a user of this device type waits,
           in thousandths of a second (milliseconds), for an
           I/O request to complete.  This is recalculated at
           the device type level, using the same technique
           used to calculate this value for an individual
           volume.
