This check monitors the availability of AUX records in the CA TLMS VMF and triggers an exception when the number of AUX records used exceeds a critical percentage. This check is a secondary check that triggers if the AUX record shortage warned about in check TLMS_AUX_CUSHION_WARNING has not been addressed. The default interval for this check is every 24 hours and the exception interval is every 15 minutes.
CA TLMS uses AUX (Auxiliary) records to track secondary files and multi-volume chains. If you run out of AUX records you cannot track multi-volume or multi-file tape data sets. As a CA TLMS best practice, monitor the count “TOTAL AUXILIARY RECORDS WRITTEN” in the output from the CATVMFB daily VMF backup utility. This represents the number of AUX records available for chaining. When this number drops suddenly and significantly you should determine why. It can indicate a problem to investigate.
This check accepts one parameter, CUSHIONTHRESH(nn). This parameter specifies the percentage of AUX records that was used. Calculated values above this percentage cause the check to raise an exception. This parameter must be an integer in the range of 1-99. The default is CUSHIONTHRESH(75).
