3.3.3.1 Extended Example I/O Workload Analysis

 
This extended example of I/O workload analysis illustrates
how to apply the capacity planning resource element files in
analyzing the I/O workload of an IBM 4381-2.  You can also
apply this study to track channel loadings on any MVS/370
system.  The I/O subsystem of an XA processor does not
uniquely identify a single channel path for a single I/O, so
this type of study does not apply to an MVS/XA system.
 
The following topics are addressed:
 
 1 - Problem Description
 2 - Control Parameters
 3 - Output Report
