Volume Configuration / Detail (STGEPB)


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

Function:  Concisely summarizes performance and capacity
           information at the volume level.  This information
           is reported for each volume and string.

           This makes it easy to identify potential
           performance or capacity problems, at both the
           volume and string level.

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

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
           excluded by user option or may still appear on the
           report, but will have 'N/A' or zeros in those
           fields obtained from the VCAVOA file.

Users:     from this report can help when defining SMS
           storage classes and storage groups.


COLUMN DESCRIPTIONS

    Control Unit Address
           A three-byte field that gives the logical address
           of an I/O control unit.

    Device Address
           The physical address of an I/O device.

    C.U. Path
           The Logical Control Unit (MVS/XA users) or Logical
           Channel (non-XA users) through which this volume
           is attached to the I/O subsystem.

    Volume Serial Number
           The volume serial number of the storage medium.

    Device Type
           The type of I/O device.

    Volume Usage
           The current DASD Volume Use Attributes.  The value
           '(N/A)' will appear in this column if this volume
           was not found in the VCAVOA file, but was found in
           the HARDVA file, and the unmatched volume option
           was specified on the report options screen.

    SMS Volume Status
           The current System Managed Volume Status.  The
           value '(N/A)' will appear in this column if this
           volume was not found in the VCAVOA file, but was
           found in the HARDVA file, and the unmatched volume
           option was specified on the report options screen.

    Volume Free
           The percent of space that is available for
           allocation on this volume.  A value of zero will
           appear in this column if this volume was not found
           in the VCAVOA file, but was found in the HARDVA
           file, and the unmatched volume option was
           specified on the report options screen.

    Fragmentation Index
           A measure of how fragmented the allocated space is
           for the current volume.  A value of zero will
           appear in this column if this volume was not found
           in the VCAVOA file, but was found in the HARDVA
           file, and the unmatched volume option was
           specified on the report options screen.

    Total Data Sets
           The total number of data sets residing on this
           volume.  A value of zero will appear in this
           column if this volume was not found in the VCAVOA
           file, but was found in the HARDVA file, and the
           unmatched volume option was specified on the
           report options screen.

    Non-VSAM Data Sets
           The percentage of Non-VSAM data sets residing on
           this volume.  This is calculated by dividing the
           number of Non-VSAM data sets by the total number
           of data sets on the volume.  A value of zero will
           appear in this column if this volume was not found
           in the VCAVOA file, but was found in the HARDVA
           file, and the unmatched volume option was
           specified on the report options screen.

    VSAM Data Sets
           The percentage of VSAM data sets residing on this
           volume.  This is calculated by dividing the number
           of VSAM data sets by the total number of data sets
           on the volume.  A value of zero will appear in
           this column if this volume was not found in the
           VCAVOA file, but was found in the HARDVA file, and
           the unmatched volume option was specified on the
           report options screen.

    Total I/O Rate
           The average number of I/O requests per second
           being received by this volume.

    Average Response Time
           The average time a user of this volume waits, in
           thousandths of a second (milliseconds), for an I/O
           request to complete.
