The CA MICS IBM VTS DASD Cache Analysis Report displays
important VTS DASD cache usage information at an overall VTS
summary level. If IBM function code FC/4001 is enabled and
the VTS Cache Usage Preference Level (IVTVCU) file is active,
the summary information is broken down and reported at the
individual cache usage preference level.
The report provides an excellent view of the DASD cache
utilization, including the average number of virtual volumes
resident, their average size, and total data volume. Several
different views of volume age are listed (how long volumes
stay in cache), and the quantity of mounts and average
response times are shown by category (total, scratch, cache
hits, and misses).
When FC/4001 is enabled and the IVTVCU file is active, this
report provides data useful for evaluating the effectiveness
of preference level setting. Using preference levels for
virtual volumes supports the automation of separating virtual
volumes into two groups: those that should remain in cache as
long as possible, and those that should be removed from cache
as soon as possible.
The report uses the distributed VTS header described in
section 3.2.1.1.2. Additionally, just above the report body
on the left, the Report Level is listed as either Cache
Summary or Cache Preference Level n.
The report body reports on the following measurements from
left to right:
Interval count and general cache volume information:
o Number of Recording Intervals - fffAVVIC
o Avg Virtual Volumes in Cache - fffAVVIC
o Avg Virtual Volume Size (MB) - fffAVVSZ
o Avg Data Resident in Cache (GB) - fffAVDRC
Average age of the virtual volumes in cache:
o 4 HR Rolling Avg Virt Vol Age - fffVA4
o 48 HR Rolling Avg Virt Vol Age - fffVA48
o 35 Day Rolling Avg Virt Vol Age - fffVA35
Total virtual mounts and average mount time:
o Total Virtual Mounts - fffTVM
o Avg Virtual Mount Time - fffAVVMT
Mount counts and mount counts by category:
o Virtual Fast-Ready Mounts - fffVFRM
o Avg Virtual Fast-Ready Mount Time - fffAVFMT
o Virtual Cache-Hit Mounts - fffVCHM
o Avg Virtual Cache-Hit Mount Time - fffAVHMT
o Virtual Recall Mounts - fffVRM
o Avg Virtual Recall Mount Time - fffAVRMT
where fff can be either VDL or VCU
At the bottom of the report, a line shows summary totals,
minimums, maximums, averages, or percentages, as appropriate
for the detailed data in each column.
Report data for summary cache statistics is generated from
the VTS Distributed Library Activity (IVTVDL) file. Report
data at the Cache Preference Level is generated from the VTS
Cache Usage Preference Level (IVTVCU) file.

IBM VTS DASD Cache Analysis (TAPLVB) Report Sample
--------------------------------------------------
The first page of the following report sample shows summary
DASD cache statistics for the User Interface (UI) VTS of a
peer-to-peer configuration. The site has taken advantage of
advanced cache management, so virtual volumes are stored and
managed in the cache at one of two preference levels.
The second and third pages show the breakdown of statistics
for the virtual volumes in cache at each of the two
preference levels.
This report sample shows a finely tuned system where the
average size of preference level 0 volumes ("get out fast")
is very large compared to preference level 1 ("stay as long
as possible").
Note that the average time in cache for preference level 0 is
much less than that for preference level 1.
