1.2.3 Files

$HEDR 1.2.3 - Files
 
 Virtual tape subsystem generated SMF data is processed by the
 VTS component and organized into information area files:
 
 o SMF data that is generated by IBM Virtual Tape Systems is
   processed and organized in the IVT information area.
 
 o SMF data that is generated by StorageTek Virtual Storage
   Manager (VSM) Systems is processed and organized in the SVT
   information area.
 
 o SMF data generated by IBM TS7700 Hydra Virtual Tape Servers
   is processed and organized in the HVT information area.
 
 IBM TS7700 series virtual tape systems no longer provide SMF
 performance data to attached hosts.  Instead the TS7700's
 virtual engine writes the statistical records to a database
 internal to the TS7700.  These statistical records are
 available to the host through the Bulk Volume Information
 Retrieval (BVIR) facility.  For information about using the
 BVIR facility to extract the performance data, see the "IBM
 Virtualization Engine TS7740 R1.5 and TS7720:  New
 Virtualization Options for Mainframe Servers" guide.
 
 A listing of the files in each of these information areas is
 provided below:
