Listing of All Exception Volumes by Cluster (STGEPB)


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

Function:  A detailed listing of all volumes that are
           considered "exceptional" during the clustering
           process.

           This permits a rapid review of those volumes that
           represent potential performance problems, so that
           they can be subjected to further analysis.


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.

COLUMN DESCRIPTIONS

    Cluster
           The identification of the reporting cluster; an
           integer from one to n.

    Logical Control Unit (ID)
           A four byte field assigned by the z/OS IOCP
           process that identifies the specific logical
           control unit (LCU) where each volume resides.  The
           LCU is a logical representation of one or more
           physical control units and their associated I/O
           devices and is used to control (queue) all I/O
           operations.

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

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

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

    Device I/O Rate
           The average (mean) number of I/O operations, per
           second for the reported volume.

    Average Response Time
           The average (mean) response time for the reported
           volume.  This is calculated as the sum of device
           connect, disconnect and pending (busy) times,
           divided by the total number of I/O operations
           (SSCH Count). The result is then added to the
           average queue time.
