3.2.2.4 STK VSM VTSS System Capacity Summary(TAPLSC)


The CA MICS STK VSM VTSS System Capacity Summary report is
created from measurements in the Subsystem Performance
Request (SVTSSP) and Channel Interface Performance (SVTCIP)
files.  The report displays the disk buffer usage in the VTSS
and the IO activity on the channel links between the VTSS and
the host, and between the VTSS and the real tape drives.

The report body displays the following measurements:

o  Total disk buffer capacity (GB) (SSPAVTCP)
o  Used disk buffer (GB) (SSPAVUCP)
o  Free disk buffer (GB) (SSPAVFCP)
o  Percentage of the disk buffer used (SSPPCUCP)
o  Average number of IOs per link type, per interval, per
   link.  Link types are HOST and RTD (real tape drives).
   Intervals are 15 minutes, and number of links depends on
   the configuration of the site's virtual tape systems.
   (CIPAVNIO)
o  Maximum number of IOs per link type, per interval, per
   link. (CIPMXNIO)
o  Average control unit busy in seconds, per link type, per
   interval, per link. (CIPAVCUB)
o  Maximum control unit busy in seconds, per link type, per
   interval, per link.  Should not exceed 15 minutes, the
   duration of an interval. (CIPMXCUB)
o  Overall percentage control unit busy of all channels, per
   link type.  CIPPCCUB)
o  Total IOs per link type. (CIPNIO)


To produce the report:

  o Enter the CA MICS Workstation Facility (MWF)

  o Choose option 2, CA MICS Information Center Facility
    (MICF)

  o Choose option 2, Database Inquiries

  o Select TAPLSC, whose Catalog Group is PERFORM

  o Complete the MICF Execution panel

  o Complete the specification panel.  Refer to section
    3.2.2.1, StorageTek VSM MICF Inquiry Specification
    Panels, for information about modifiable panel fields.

The following report sample shows the hourly capacity of the
disk buffer and the throughput of the IO changes from the
host to the VTSS and the VTSS to the real tape drives for a
day.
